@X082@X05.@X0802 @X03 PYRODEX
@X08 Pyrodex is a synthetic powder that is used like black powder@X05.@X08 It comes
in the same grades@X05,@X08 but it is more expensive per pound@X05.@X08 However@X05,@X08 a one pound
container of pyrodex contains more material by volume than a pound of black
powder@X05.@X08 It is much easier to crush to a very fine powder than black powder@X05,@X08
and it is considerably safer and more reliable@X05.@X08 This is because it will
not be set off by static electricity@X05,@X08 as black can be@X05,@X08 and it is less inclined
to absorb moisture@X05.@X08 It costs about $10@X05.@X0800 per pound@X05.@X08 It can be crushed in the
same manner as black powder@X05,@X08 or it can be dissolved in boiling water and dried@X05.@X08
