Although I would recommend AGAINST the use of home-made NC in your gun, you should first get as much as possible info on the composition of the
gunpowder you normaly use. Is it a handgun (like 9mm?) or is it a long-barrel rifle?
This is a hell of a difference, as gunpowder for a rifle needs to be 'slow', and for a handgun it is normally fast.
To get the grains, I would take tisseus, separate the individual layers, wet them, and dry them in the oven at 120°C for 10 minutes. Then try to cut
them in very smal pieces with a scalpel or another very sharp knife. This will give you very small pieces, although it will take you a lot of time.
Another option would be to purchase pure cellulose, in powderform. This would allow you to nitrate the powder, and get a powder NC.
Again, using this in a gun you hold in your hands is just plain stupid, as you don't know what kind of 'burnrate-slowers' they put in
commercial gunpowder.
Note also that they sometimes add a few % of NG to the gunpowder.
Be aware that putting LESS then the minimal charge in a gun also can cause blow-ups, I've read a lot of articlaes about blown up revolvers caused
by putting too less gunpowder in a shell....be carefull....
Never argue with idiots, they drag you down their level and beat you with experience.

no way
if you start packing raw NC into your gun your asking for a muzzle breach--- its pure suicide! Your gun is already under enormous pressure-- putting a
raw product into a gun without knowing its pressure volume could cause a detonation! Pls be careful!

1) This is practical pyrotechnics/HE --> Not allowed.
2) There are enough topics about nitrocellulose --> SEARCH before you post.
Closed.
One shouldn't accept or resort to the mutilation of science to appease the mentally impaired.
