BLACKPOWDER PRECIS - Shooting Times - Sept. 2008 Issue

[w44wcf]

Authored by Michael Bussard, he chronicles b.p. history from 850 to current.  I haven't purchased a Shooting Times issue for quite awhile but felt that article and the early drawings were worth the $3.99 I paid for the magazine. 

Paragraph headings:
>Blackpowder Breakdown
>How Blackpowder Works
>How Blackpowder Is Made
>Manufacturing Improvements
>Chemical Improvements
>A New Name
>The Future
Plus a Blackpowder Factoid - E.I. DuPont & Co. The Early Years

I find it interesting that ST is paying any attention to bp.  The stuff is coming back, I tell ya.  Now that more people are shooting for fun and less for meat on the table, our heritage is being more appreciated.  Looks like I'm going to have to cough up the money for this issue.  Is it on the news stands now?

I used to poach out of necessity.  Smokeyless fad powder filled my 30-30 ammo.  We ate deer cuz we could.  Now, I just poach for fun. . .
