Well had a chance to shoot the cottenell and the alder BP today
 Here's my messy notes.

 I'm pretty happy so far with these results.
 Still dirty though,not sure how those online guys are getting such clean powder.

 Open air test of the TP was pretty clean compared to the cedar.
 Once I have a little more testing I'll post my whole process start to finish
 Meeting Eric tomorrow for a little flintlock deer/elk hunt.
 I'll be using the TP BP in my kibler .54

Anyone going to the GI gun show?  figured maybe we could meet up and do some trading, BS'ing, etc.

 Cedar bedding is pretty dirty.
 Used that at the flathead shoot this past weekend.
 Pictures / videos are on FB, CDA muzzleloaders page.
 It shot great I must say.
 Just finished a Batch of alder BP.
 Open air test and it flashed amazingly fast.
 I'll try and shoot it soon and get some more numbers to report.
 Currently running a batch of cottenell Toilet paper BP.
 The TP makes a very light fluffy charcoal
 I'll have that ready tomorrow night.
  I'm pretty sure the cedar and red fir will pale in comparison to the alder.
  Stand by for more details as they come.
  With the price of BP going up and availability going down making your own makes sense to me.
 It really is pretty easy.
 Once I figure out what works best I'll stick to that
 Using the standard 75/15/10 ratio .
 All testing will be done with ginger, the .54 flintlock and 70 gr weighed
Charges.
 I'm weighing it since the red cedar and fir both come in at about 10 grs lighter than the equivalent goex by volume.
 Not sure what the alder and TP will weigh in at yet.
 Also I'm corning it, I guess I could try some screened powder too
Just to compare.

Thanks Darren, I agree.
 Hoping the alder will show similar if not better results.
 The cottenell TP I'm not so hopeful for but who knows.
 I'll try more testing soon if I'm not hunting
