Just a small shell, but I was surprised how good the results are with

some good spiking and a good BP break.

Before I used always some slow (good enough for lift) BP with slow flash booster.

My breaks weren`t that symmetrical and quite loud.

Now with my fast paulownia BP I have perfect breaks even without a booster.

And it`s quite silent compared to my flash broken shells..

The spiking looks good and the result does too. Did you use a method similar to what the Pyrotechnica articles suggest? I assume pumped stars with cored BP?

I always wondered how small you can go with the traditional techniques...

Hi ;)

 

Hmm, I didn`t do much reading about traditional canister shells, I just watched a few videos on youtube, that`s it.

That`s basically the way I do it. Stars were rolled simple white with a thin layer TT.

With my flash boosted Shells, I hadn`t got good results, many of them blew blind but with BP it`s ok.

Just realized that shell´s powered by my paulownia. Great to see the result.
