For those that need it to make nitrated paper cartridges, pure saltpeter is available from "Skylighter," a fireworks chemical supplier for about $5 a pound. The minimum order is 5 pounds. Go to http://www.skylighter.com/mall/chemicals.asp?Sort=S.
Also, some brands of stump remover (including "Green Light" brand), generally available at hardware stores, are reportedly 100% KNO3. It is also used as a fertilizer for hydroponic plant growing and should be available from stores selling hydroponic supplies. See: http://www.aquariaplants.com/nutrientsfertilizers.htm
