I recall some time ago that Albert9x19 had released some documentation detailing the process and chemistry behind synthesizing double-base smokeless powder at home. I can't seem to find the recipes anywhere though. Anyone know where they might be? I didn't see it on the index.

I don't believe Albert ever actually released his work and it's not clear it's actually being actively worked on any longer.

I do think that @notsuspekt is correct that if you want the recipe for practical purposes, and you're in the US, it makes little sense to DIY it. But I do think it's a worthy area of research and I'd like to see someone revive the project.
