    I revisited my supplies this morning and put my remaining groundup charcoal through a seive....ummmm eye opening just how much bigger lumps were still in there...reground those bits till it all went through seive.... makes much more sense to me anyway..to do it that way around now I stop and think about it.
    if your worried about self ignition...forget all about black powder.... as I said to you earlier...follow the instructions to WET MIX it in THE CORRECT order and the risk is much much less...... now pucking,compressing and ball milling are a completely different matter again..all bets are off if you chose to attemp doing stuff to a highly flammable substance once it is in its complete mixture
    SF90 would tell you ,it can bite and put you in hospital for quite some time if you get it wrong
