Thanks for the tip.

They say:
Black Powder Kit for making your own black powder. This kit contains all the chemicals you need to produce your own black powder. With this kit you can easily make black powder that is faster and more powerful than commercially available black powder. I don't provide instructions on how to make your own black powder, Google can help with that, but I will tell you that a properly charged ball mill is the key for fast powerful black powder.
Here is what you get with the Black Powder Kit:
5 lbs. of our milled Potassium Nitrate with no anti-cake added. A $15 value.
1 lbs. of our airfloat charcoal. A $3.25 value
1 lb. of sulfur. A $4.50 value.
That is enough chemicals to make over 6 1/2 lbs. of good, fast black powder. Buy it as a kit and save.
That's $20 plus shipping for me of $13.90 for 6.5 pounds of powder, or $33.90 total, or $5.22 per pound.
I'm paying over $20 a pound right now.
I may have to give this a go.
