You'll need salpeter, very dry charcoal, and sulphur, to make gun powder.
Please be careful.

@helenS I do appreciate the concern, I have made it a good number of times, but I was not aware that powdered sugar would work as a binder instead of dextrin.

@Powderflask I have made firecrackers many times, using DIY powder, but I have never used a binder.

@helenS that sounds really cool actually. Gun meal would create different pressures in firearms because of burn rates. But I got into it because my local Gun store didn't sell black powder year round.
