I asked a question on another thread about the compound the powders are based on.

I have been doing a good bit of reading trying to find the correct answer.

From what I can find it seems that T7 actually is a sugar based propellant. Which is what my original point was. But then some said it was not sugar based. Bu everything I can find says it is.

I also asked about BH-209. And whether it was, or was not sugar based like T7?? No one answered about BH-209. Does anyone know what the BH powder is derived from??

And I also do not understand the big deal about why a powder has to have charcoal if all it provides is smoke. If it serves no purpose then why put it in there?? And also if it serves no purpose then the powder should not be considered a BP substitue!! It should be considered Smokeless Powder?? If the charcoal is not needed for the actual momentum of the projectile??

Me thinks someone is trying to pull a fast one?? Tom.
