Ball Powder made in USA

[Ganderite]

It is made by St. Marks. Sold by various distributers under their own names.

Very interesting read, Ganderite. I knew St Marks was manufacturing Ball powders, but
was not aware of their depth in powder production. Dave.

Just a guess, but the "Accuflat" line they are producing sounds a lot like the new StaBall line of powders that are just being released.

I believe there is a ball powder plant somewhere in Belgium, is there not?

Yup: PB Clermont owned by EURENCO. They had an explosion about a decade ago.

That [ball powder] plant was set up in Belgium for S.A. Poudrieres Reunies de Belgiques by Olin using their [at the time] proprietary process following WW2.

Yup, some of my favorite powders come from there too. Not nearly fast enough though...
