What is Skirmish Powder?

PowderInc.com has Skirmish powder, which cost less than black powder. My question is: Does it produce the same results as BP? [fire, smoke, noise, velocity]

I shoot Skirmish powder in a bowling ball mortar, and like it. If you want the best, go GOEX. If you want the most bang for the buck, in large caliber toys. Go Skirmish. I don't know how Skirmish powder works in small hand weapons.
