American Powder Company ? -

[sheriff john]

Saw this at a gunshow in St. Charles, Mo. today. In white plastic jars. Didn't have my reading glasses. Black powder substitute made in the U.S.A. I'd not seen this product previously. Vendor really didn't know much about it except it's supposed to be used volume-to-volume to replace real black powder. Asking $ 24 a pound. Useful stuff or not ?

Repackaged Pyrodex ?

$24 a lb., the manufacturer must think highly of it.

I think American pioneer powder is a sugar based substitute, white in color.

Thank you for the in put. Vendor wouldn't open it (I understand). Next time I'll take my reading glasses. Had not seen this stuff before.
