You need black for flintlocks. Pyrodex will work for cap ignition guns (dont sell that revolver), and you can do duplex loads if needed for flintlocks.
Safety and modern equipment!!! The duPont plant was a family apprenticeship and kept close.
Homemade is problematic if you really mill, dry, sheet, flake, screen and coat with graphite. I dont know a source of real ash charcoal, sulphur, and saltpeter. And no practical way to test lots
duPont was working on extruded shapes to improve it when smokeless came along
