What is the highest level of concentration I can get making poor mans nitric without distillation?

Actually, I use your recipe for making Nitric. But instead of Sodium nitrate, I use Ammonium nitrate. Some batches are better than others but the reaction seems to be shorter then expected. I guessing I'm getting somewhere between 30 and 50%. If I increase the amount of nitrate and decrease the amount of water, would that help with the concentration?

i have used ammonia nitrate and switch to a potassium nitrate.... mainly because it was easier to come by and concentration and performance do vary between the 2.... i ordered up some sodium nitrate tech grade specifically due to Steve's posts and info that can be found every where.
if you have a problem finding it you can order it here...
i previously bought it a $2.83 for 2 pound bag-man it jumped up in a matter of weeks
