neutral  The Misha: "Hunting" in most of your references relates to horn, not powder. You may still be right though. Absolutely so. But since hunting is a modifier to horn, rather than powder it does not prove very well that "hunting powder" is an acceptable usage.

  -> So? A hunting powder horn contains hunting powder.//OK, check these two. www.outdoorsyp.com/index.asp?searchkey=1812 www.guns.connect.fi/gow/arcane1.html

sporting-powder


Explanation:
Это может показаться невероятным, но это факт, например - когда- то я задавал вопрос в KudoZ и выяснил, что sporting rifle - это спортивная ИЛИ ОХОТНИЧЬЯ винтовка

см. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/579747

В качестве ещё одного аргумента, могу привести то, что многоуважеаемый Вебстер переводит sporting-powder на немецкий как Jagdpulver т.е. дословно "охотничий порох"
