Perhaps only that wholesale cost (including materials and labor) should average about 1/2 retail price with materals obviously being only a part of wholesale cost.

Call it 1/2 or 1/10th or anything you want. These sorts of things are likely to be hghly variable especialy at the low TL implied by home made black powder hand grenades.

I'd actually adivise the PC to just buy his stuff instead of making it himself. Making black powder is a lot like a full time job and frequently both dull and dangerous.
