Grain shaping was not unique to brown powder[edit]
The introduction says:
- While similar to black powder, it was chemically formulated and formed hydraulically into a specific grain shape to provide a slower burn rates with neutral or progressive burning, as opposed to the faster and regressive burn typical of randomly shaped grains of black powder produced by crushing and screening powder formed into sheets in a press box, as was typical for cannon powder previously.
The process of forming specific shaped pieces to provide a slower burn rates was done with both black powder and brown powder.-- Toddy1 (talk) 17:04, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
