Re: Legality of ball milling powder

<POWDERBURNZ@xxxxxxxxx

| Does anybody know whether ball milling a mixture of KNO3, Sulfur and
| Charcoal for use as rocket fuel in rocket engines intended to lift
| model/high power rockets requires any sort of licensing or storage
| facilities? Assuming the act of milling is carried out in a safe
| location, away from housing, etc., would it be a violation of Federal
| Law? I know that many times interpretation of the law is not
| black-and-white but grey areas so I appreciate whatever input any of
| you can supply.

"It is essential that persons having explosive
substances under their charge should never
lose sight of the conviction that, preventive
measures should always be prescribed
on the hypothesis of an explosion."
