ABSTRACT Different RDX based gun propellant compositions were prepared using slurry technique. Ballistic performance of the compositions was evaluated on the basis of closed vessel test. Heat of combustion was measured using a calorimetric bomb. Sensitivity, some thermal characteristics and thermal stability of the compositions were investigated. The obtained results reveal that gun propellant compositions based on approximately 58 percent RDX could provide relatively high level of powder force, acceptable maximum pressure and good stability.
