@deermanok wrote a while back that in some of his sidelocks he has used a little real BP mixed in with a synthetic in order get consistent ignition for a synthetic in a percussion sidelock. Deermanok made it sound like he dribbled some black in first then added the T7, but I was wondering what about if I premixed, say 5 percent black 95 percent T7…or even 10 percent black and 90 percent BH209!
A couple of questions:
1. Will making a mixture such as this ahead of time and storing it be stable? WOuld the two powders harm each other chemically in some way?
2. Will having the BP mixed in with the synthetic- and presumably evenly distributed- make ignition less likely? - Again, @deermanok sounded like he was making a powder layer cake, with the BP closes to the flash hole. So this would be different.
3. Do you think this will work in relation to BH?
Maybe I have a project for my next range day…
