MY LAST POST HAD A TYPO, AND I COULD NOT EDIT OR DELETE IT SO HERE IS THE EDITED POST: Hello everyone, just had a quick question. Im new here so feel free to move the topic if this does not suit it. What BP lift powder should I use for 3+ inch shells, specifically salutes? Im thinking on getting PYRODEX RS FFg powder, but Im not too sure. Could anyone help me out?

Thanks, Nicholas K.

Post a picture of what you made and need lift for? I just have to see if my hunch is correct

I dont have one made rn, but I have made them before with GOEX 2f, but Im out and the place I buy from is out of stock, but they do have the PYRODEX RS. I just have some 3 & 4 inch hemis, and I know how to measure the lift, but dont know a good other granulated bp besides the goex. Just a reference, In the 3 inch shells, I put about 80-100 Grams of Flash, and the 4s around 120-140g in the hemi.

Red lights are a flashing and sirens a blaring!!! Obviously asking that question you should in no way be doing what your doing. If you are doing what you are saying, never ever, ever put it out online like this. Believe me when I tell you the alphabet is already on to you.

Going to put it out there, pyrodex or other black powder substitutes will not work... You can always make bp if you can't find it... With that much flash if it doesn't leave the tube it's going to be bad... So if you make some bp test it with a baseball or dummy shell before a real shell

If I made a made a 100 gram flash salute I would just use 10 grams of flash for lift. Right? This is right, right? Using flash as lift is ok I think
