Ok, thanks for the clarification guys. I'm also going to do some checking on availability of 4F.
Richard, I would suggest further face-to-face discussions at the playa... David Erbas-White
A few more questions: is it stable and are there legal limits on what someone can have without some special permit? Is this another case of some California regulation?

It is not the same as what's used in modern bullets and shells which is called "gun powder", but it more properly Cordite(sp?).

Couldn't someone just purchase a box of shotgun shells and have enough BP for the small quantities for what we do? Sorry if these are stupid questions.

As someone else has mentioned – it does tend to last a long time.

They have a bunch of 4F left over from Jack? Or launching rockets with less powder than provided with motors and stocking up? I have a real hard time believing that people are launching rockets every day with a limited resource of 4F...and I cant even get Q2G2's until September???

Anyone have any suggestions as to where I can purchase? The local gun shops in OC that I have visited only sell 2F. Will that do? Also, I haven't seen any activity on roc-chat for quite some time. I'm assuming messages are not making it into my inbox. Its not going into my spam folder either. This seems to happen every so often. I remember seeing messages that others had similar problems. Is this a message board issue? I plan on making it to the June launch. I will be launching a 4" diameter rocket on a K445. I also plan on launching a two-stage rocket (Mini Black Brandt on a Nike booster). Hopefully the motor doesn't eject out of the MBB this time...
