Yeah, I prefer Pyrodex over APP actually. It doesn't stink as bad. I just have APP right now. But either's great with me. I have never had any problems with American Pioneer. It seems just as accurate and reliable as any powder. It performed excellent on deer as well. I would recommend the Pyrodex actually because it's cheaper.

The XTP's are awesome but the Cheap Shot sabots are much cheaper. They're not as accurate though.

Anyways, you can't go wrong with Cheap Shots, XTP's, or APP or Pyrodex. To tell you the truth, I change my loads continuously. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference. There's many good products out there. Good luck.
