hi, i have found some kno3 on inoxia "http://www.inoxia.co...oduct/167.aspx" which is very cheep (6kg for £14) but is economy grade coarse and was wondering whether it could be ball milled to a fine dust and how long it wouuld take.
thanks jack :D

I would personally try to find it cheaper, but yes, you can ball mill it, or even coffee-grind it into a very fine powder efficiently and quickly. Regardless, it will be milled quickly if made into black powder so it's fine in "large crystals" or any other form.
