I have been ball milling my bp for a year now, and lately my powder is clumping up in the mill, it use to come out nice and fluffy.

WhatsApp: +86 1820369537720. Posted August 22, 2010. Milling until the BP clumps or sticks to the jar is a good thing. You had a lttle moisture, probably in the kn03. Grate the "balls" through a screen, dampen and rice. Or put them in a bucket and crush with the end of a baseball bat as if you would in corning.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377First off: NC is fairly insensitive to ignition. If we can ball mill black powder dry, why not NC? The problem is that NC is also very strong and flexible, quite undesirable properties for grinding. So ball milling with lead is probably going to be slow, and with heavy contamination. Brass or copper media (also safe for BP) might work better.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Removing Mill Dust from Mill Jar and Separating It from the Media Wet Granulating the Black Powder As it is right out of the ball mill, the mill dust will burn very rapidly with a "whoosh" if a small amount of it is lit with a fuse. To test this, lay out a short, 1/4inch wide line of the mill dust on a suitable outdoor surface.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377I woke up, not hearing the explosion, standing on my feet. I was 18 miles away. Safety makes a lot of sense.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377My very first ball mill such as it was used a few pounds of stainless steel nuts and bolts for the medium charge. Ball bearings are very good for milling. Muzzle loading balls are, also. Fishing weights work (egg weights are about the best). Marbles work. Some people (scaring me as they do it) use glass marbles to mill black powder. LLoyd
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377I thought I would try it out as a ball mill, so I cast up a large batch of .575" (58 cal) hard round lead balls. The trouble is that 30 pounds of lead balls only fills it to about 1/3 full. I know that it is desirable to have the mill 1/2 full of media. Will I get acceptable efficiency with only 1/3 of the mill full of media?

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Extremely hard, lead ball media for ball milling black powder and individual chemicals. If you are making black powder, you have to use nonsparking grinding media. Lead is nonsparking and is probably the safest thing to use for making BP. Pure lead balls are very soft and will literally grind themselves down to nothing.
