Reuse of expired single base propellants from munition as component of industrial explosives is one of energy saving technologies. In this paper the data on study influence of gunpowder units of various sizes in a mixture with a water-gel composition on detonation by the electromagnetic method are presented. The increase of the size of gunpowder units promotes increasing of detonation velocity despite the loss of the mass fraction of the gunpowder in the charge. Typical profiles of detonation pressure depending on various sizes of gunpowder units are presented. The features of detonation depending on the size of the gunpowder units are described.
