Product Overview and Introduction

Achieve authentic historical performance, reliable ignition, and clean-burning accuracy in cap-and-ball revolvers, flintlocks, and small-caliber muzzleloading rifles with Hodgdon Pyrodex P Black Powder Substitute. Specifically formulated as the black powder substitute equivalent to FFFg black powder, Pyrodex P features a finer grain size designed to burn faster and more completely in shorter barrels and smaller powder chambers.

Whether you are competing in historical pistol matches with an 1858 Remington revolver, hunting small game with a small-bore muzzleloading rifle, or shooting traditional flintlock firearms, Pyrodex P delivers consistent volumetric measurement, reduced fouling compared to traditional black powder, and dependable shot-to-shot velocity.

Fine-Grain Pyrodex P Technology and Performance

Engineered to meet the exact demands of historical shooters, re-enactors, and black powder enthusiasts, Pyrodex P offers distinct advantages on the shooting bench and in the field:

• FFFg Equivalence: Designed to match the burn rate and volumetric charge weight of traditional FFFg black powder grain-for-grain.

• Optimized for Smaller Calibers: Finer granulation ensures rapid, complete ignition in cap-and-ball pistol cylinders and small-bore rifle barrels.

• Reduced Fouling Composition: Formulated to produce significantly less residue and easier cleanup than traditional black powder while maintaining authentic performance.

• Consistent Volumetric Measurement: Measures identically by volume to traditional black powder using standard powder measures and flasks.
