Muzzleloaders typically use black powder or smokeless powder as propellant. Black powder is a traditional choice, made from a mixture of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, offering a characteristic smoky discharge. Smokeless powder, while less common in traditional muzzleloading, is sometimes used in modern muzzleloaders designed for it due to its higher efficiency and lower residue. Always ensure that the appropriate type of powder is used for your specific muzzleloader model.
