I once gave serious consideration to making my own black powder. But most of the instructions you read tell you to dig a hole, line it with blocks, and put your ball mill in there so that if it just happens to blow up all the force will go straight up in the air.

What actually happens in the barrel of a muzzleloader when ...

In a gun barrel, smokeless powder burns, creating gas. Because there's nowhere for the gas to go, the pressure increases to extremely high levels, and the powder burns quickly. If you drop a match into a small bowl of smokeless powder, pressure will not build up, and the powder will sizzle and burn for a several seconds before it will be used up.
