h0lx Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Some people had a bit of issues getting their bp to stick so I opted to turn the camera on while making the next batch, this is how I get mine really nice:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0lszpRS40A Edited October 30, 2022 by h0lx 1
Arthur Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 My understanding is that small shells need more powder to hulls weight than large shells. If you have pre-made MCRH you only have one mix ratio.
h0lx Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 while thats true, my shells havent yet obtained such a large swing in sizes for it to make a difference. besides I often sprinkle bp fines(the stuff left from sieving lift after granulation) inbetween the grains for extra power if I feel the volume of it ends up too small, ie with inserts etc. And the smallest ones such as 2.5" get a lift granules replacing most of the hulls plus sometimes a little whistle as booster(attatched a pic)
G4piro Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 I did not find rice hulls in my country, So I just added 1-2% dextrin and moistened with a little water and alcohol.Then I passed it through a sieve with holes about 2x2 mm in size, I let it dry, and it worked pretty well that way for me.
Arthur Posted December 4, 2022 Posted December 4, 2022 Rice hulls are locally unavailable, so some have taken to using Rice Krispies (breakfast cereal!) purportedly, these can be "star rolled" into burst using 7:1 dust to cereal for small shells and 3:1 for 16"s. I suspect that other spacing materials could be used "cornflakes" for example.
