In this short book written specifically for modern-day muzzleloader and breech-loader black powder shooters, Brett Gibbons discusses the important qualities and properties of black powder that you need to know, to broaden your understanding of this ancient propellant and appreciate the history of the oldest energetic material known to mankind. Blending personal experience with a technological history, "Like Powder and Fire" covers the historic manufacture of black powder as it was carried out at the Royal Gunpowder Mill at Waltham Abbey, UK. All aspects of black powder are covered in an accessible and readable style, weaving the science of internal ballistics with a meaningful history of the process and properties of the oldest propellant.
