A gunpowder press is a mechanical device used to compress and shape the components of gunpowder, typically to create uniform grains for improved performance in firearms and explosives. The process involves applying pressure to a mixture of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, which enhances its consistency and burning efficiency. These presses were historically significant in the mass production of gunpowder, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, they are largely obsolete due to advancements in propellant technology.
