Yeah, I tried it from a stargun (12mm pumped star). It was a great color, too. Burns quite fast, too. But priming is an important factor. I would prime it with an alcohol/red gum/bp prime. So no KNO3 dissolves into the star and destroys the colour.

Excelent, will try that out. If i have time i will cut a load of 1/4in and fire from a 3 inch can shell or 3 inch spherical peony shell. Will post the vids of course Cheers for the prime tip

Better try it in small ammounts before Afterwards the color doesn?t impress you and then you say its my fault!

So better be on the safe side...


EDIT: Shot another test star of this comp recently. I have to admit. This is one of the clearest and most beautiful reds I have seen so far. It might go a bit to the pinkish side, but the white-content is so low that it doesn?t matter. I have found my favourite color!

I?m crazy about that color
