It's just loose powder, and I doubt it will ever be in pellet form.
Cost around $34 for 10oz. Not quite as bad as it seems, because you can use less of it for similar fps of other powders. However, it still cost more than the rest. Personally, I feel it's overpriced, but no other powder has it's advantages.
Another reason I like sidelocks. I have no temptation to use anything but real black powder.
