I bought a canister cheap last year at WalMart's end of season sale.  Used it in my .58 Zouave with patched balls.  Worked pretty well.  No ignition problems with musket caps.  Was very clean burning.  Didn't need to swab between shots.  Velocity was a few hundred feet per second below equal volume charges of Pyrodex RS.  Accuracy was equal to or maybe even a little better than RS.
