Comments

This propellant is designed for Steve Majdali's SBR tooling.

The PGI article has much paranoia about the properties of this propellant. In my experience it is less treacherous than conventional micrograin and significantly less powerful than BP. It will not be affected by moisture in a dangerous manner as suggested, in fact it isn't much different safety wise than my Zinc Flash.
