Hodgdon Pyrodex 50/50 Pellets 50 Grain 100 Count Box P5050

The Hodgdon P5050 Pyrodex 50/50 Pellets deliver consistent ignition and clean-burning performance for muzzleloader enthusiasts. These pre-measured pellets eliminate powder measuring guesswork while providing the reliability modern black powder shooters demand.

What Makes This Different

Pyrodex 50/50 pellets combine the convenience of pre-formed charges with enhanced ignition characteristics compared to traditional black powder. Each pellet burns cleaner than standard black powder, producing 48% less residue and significantly reducing fouling between shots. The compressed pellet format ensures consistent charge weights shot after shot, eliminating the variables that affect accuracy with loose powder measures.

Key Features

• Pre-measured 50-grain pellets eliminate weighing and measuring
• Clean-burning formula produces 48% less fouling than black powder
• Consistent compression density ensures uniform ballistic performance
• Enhanced ignition properties work reliably with standard percussion caps
• Moisture-resistant pellet construction maintains stability in field conditions
• Compatible with .50 caliber muzzleloading rifles and pistols
• 100-pellet count provides extended shooting sessions

Field testing demonstrates reliable ignition across temperature ranges from 20°F to 100°F, making these pellets suitable for hunting seasons and competitive shooting. The reduced fouling characteristics allow for more shots between cleaning cycles, particularly beneficial during extended range sessions or multi-day hunting trips. Velocity consistency typically varies less than 25 fps between shots when used with identical projectiles.
