Modern Gun Powder for Black Powder Guns™

Clean Burning without the smell - and it cleans with just water!

American Pioneer ™ STICKS™

STICKS ™ Compressed Charges

American Pioneer™ Powder is available in a pre-measured and compressed charge form, American Pioneer™ Powder STICKS™ Compressed Charges. These charges are the most advanced black powder replacement propellant to date. Not only do American Pioneer™ Powder STICKS™ Compressed Charges possess the advantages of being composed of a powerful, sulfurless black powder replacement, but their proprietary design was invented to allow for quick and complete ignition. In addition, American Pioneer™ Powder STICKS™ Compressed Charges allow fast, easy, and consistent loading of a black powder firearm while maximizing performance, accuracy, and dependability. No lubing or swabbing between shots is required or recommended.

ABSOLUTELY NO BLACK POWDER is added to our American Pioneer™ Powder STICKS™ Compressed Charges. The addition of black powder would defeat the purpose of using a sulfurless black powder replacement to eliminate sulfur corrosion, fouling, and the horrible "rotten egg" smell.

Our 50 grain velocity equivalent charges, for use only in 50 caliber black powder firearms, and our 50 grain velocity equivalent charges, for use only in 45 caliber black powder firearms are NOW AVAILABLE. These products are designed and intended for use only in the specific caliber of black powder firearm for which they are recommended and should not be used in any other caliber firearm. Firearm Manufacturers' recommended loads should never be exceeded. Other caliber and grain velocity equivalent charges will be available in the future.
