Frequently Asked Questions

How many pellets come in a box?

Each box contains 100 pellets, at about $0.43 per piece. That’s enough for 100 single-pellet loads, or 50 loads when you stack two pellets for a full 100-grain charge.

Are these pellets sulfur-free?

Yes — Triple Seven pellets are completely sulfur-free, unlike traditional black powder or some Pyrodex formulations. That means no rotten-egg smell when firing, and less corrosive fouling in the bore. Cleanup afterward takes far less time too.

Can I stack two pellets for a heavier charge?

Yes, many shooters stack two pellets to reach a 100-grain charge in rifles rated for it. Always check your muzzleloader manufacturer’s reloading guide first. Never exceed the maximum charge listed for your specific firearm and bullet combination.

What ignition system do these pellets require?

These pellets need .50 caliber inline muzzleloaders with 209 shotshell primer ignition. They don’t work in traditional sidelock rifles that use percussion caps. Those rifles typically need loose powder or dedicated cap-ignition pellets instead.

How should I store black powder substitute pellets?

Keep pellets in their original sealed box, in a cool, dry spot away from heat, open flame, or direct sunlight. Proper storage keeps ignition reliable for years. As a result, your black powder substitute pellets for muzzleloaders stay ready for next season.
