Im going to make a 1/2" powder tube that holds 100gr APP and then mold a few pellets to try out.

you just brought back a BAD Memory from when I was little...remember when you were little and made them Rockets that you put the engines in and they had a fuse and you lit em and they flew way into the clouds. Anyway I took one of the (D) size rocket engines and opened it up and emptied the powder out and took a match and lit it.....BIG MISTAKE, after the Flash and Smoke cleared I was left with 3 fingers that were burnt to the bone, I'll never forget that PAIN!
Be careful next time if you ever try something like that again! and let us know the results of your interesting test.
