	Blackpowder 101 - October 2000 by Tom Kelley
		Bacon's description of the formula for flpowder was a carefully worded anagram, for he feared that the uneducated might fall privy to the secret of the destructive power of the composition.

	Blackpowder
		The charcoal serves as the fuel, sulfur is the binding agent, and the potassium nitrate is the oxidizer.
		Blackpowder residue consists of potassium carbonate, potassium sulfate, potassium sulfide, potassium thiosulfate, potassium thiocynate, carbon, and sulfur.
		Pyrodex is harder to ignite (600º F) than flpowder and can produce gases at a temperature of 4000º F. Pyrodex RS grade is intended for muzzle-loading rifles and shotguns, P is for use in pistols, CTG is specifically for use in rifle and shotgun cartridges, and C is for use in muzzle loading cannons.
