A while ago I decided that I wouldn't host information about compositions directly on this site, or the making of energetic materials specifically, and at this point I still agree with that. In the current climate you cannot be too careful about the information you put out there, and what unintended actions it might be used for. As always, the information on this site is intended for education purposes for the application of making fireworks, and not for any other purpose.
However, in order to make a firework fuse you need a combustible component.
I hope in the near future to post information about making a ball mill, essential for the production of high quality BP.
A ball mill has many useful applications, not soley for pyro needs, and without directly giving information about compositions, it's just a very thorough grinder. So I believe it's acceptable to post information about a ball mill, as in itself it cannot be used for anything malicious.
With that caveat in place, let's get to why you are here...
The link below provides some of the best information I've seen regarding the making of high quality BP. In particular, the page discusses the application and relative merits of different manufacturing methods and their results.
Be under no illusion, one thing is for sure, milling is an essential part of the process if you want the best BP possible.
