Could someone tell me what calculation I need to do to work out what pressure i need to apply to my 2" pucks to get to density of 1.7 grams/cc.
Also a 2" black powder puck, How many grams powder would you recommend.
How do i calculate the pressure needed ?

The pressure is not important, you need to calculate the volume of the finished puck (with a known weight of DRY powder). Area of 2" puck is 20.25 cm2. If you make the puck 1" thick (2.54cm) then the volume is 51.435 cm3 x 1.7g= 87.44g of BP needed.

thank you for working that out for me. 87.4g im just imaging that igniting while being compressed
.well i took plunge and pressed one out at 6 tons.
very impressed with the finished product. will give it a couple of days to dry, and will post if my black powder has improved

well after a few tests of pyro golf i can now say im very happy with my black powder. up till now my shells have been quite low breaks so now i have improved by lift powder that should fix that problem.
though the press was not cheep i think it was a nesassery tool to move me forward to the next level.
thank you everybody for all the help so far
