Meal powder is the fine dust left over when black powder (gunpowder) is corned and screened to separate it into different grain sizes. It is used extensively in various pyrotechnic procedures, usually to prime other compositions. It can also be used in many fireworks to add power and substantially increasing the height of the firework. It is also used in most firearm ammunition. The power has occasionally been used as a synonym for Serpentine powder, which it physically resembles.
