Mixing powder !!!??

If it wasn't for experimentation we would probably only have three or four different burning rates or square wheels as you put it...

Yes, but not one of the other powders were created by a reloader at home, but by trained engineers doing it for a company in a controlled environment, so IMO totally invalid comparison.

One small misstep and you are the latest candidate for the Darwin Awards minus a face. "Nothing ventured" sometimes is the smart thing to do. However, the Darwin Awards will make you an instant star.

Your face, so feel free to proceed.

Hi here is a simple answer
Dont Do it!!

When you mix powders you can not guarentee ecact placement and burn characteristics of the mixture so that is why their can be good results sometines then the next time it does not work. Some have tried this and blown their gun up. as i said dont do it as you can loose more that a few dollars in testing and hopefuly you dont loose any body part or function if sompthing daes not work. Powder companies spend milions to develope an exact burning rate and bomb testing to check the correct burn rates if the powder you have does not make you happy buy some that does dont just mix powder so you can use up powder you have on hand i would rather burn it or spread it on the grass for fertiliser than risking my life or body.
