In this episode of the No Lowballers Podcast, POMA media member Logan Metesh of High Caliber History and POMA corporate partner director Allen Forkner of GunBroker take an explosive deep dive into one of the most fundamental elements in the history of firearms: gunpowder.

To help them explore the thousand-year journey of the propellant that powers it all, they’re joined by special guest Justin Schrader, Senior Ballistician at Hodgdon Powder Company. From myth and mysticism to modern temp-stable powders and the economics of nitrocellulose, this episode is packed with black powder lore, modern reloading science, and a few laughs along the way.
