New blackpowder substitute?!?

I overheard someone talking at the store the other day about a new blackpowder substitute besides Pyrodex. He said it didn't foul as fast and was easier to clean. What is it called? Is it just loose powder or does it come in pellet form? Anyone have any experience with it? I am wanting to use in in my muzzleloader (not blackpowder cartridges).
Thanks!

It doesn't matter what you shoot, just shoot it well...

  it was called Clean Shot but the makers of Pyrodex sued for patent infringement, and right now they're tied up in court I guess ,
  American Pioneer Powder is the replacement for Clean Shot , its sold in pellets and loose, I haven't shot the American Pioneer yet but if its the same as Clean Shot its good stuff. I don't use Pyrodex any more since trying Clean Shot, its just so much easier to clean up and follow up shots load way easier than when I was useing Pyrodex .

  I started using American Pioneer Powder this year and like what I see so far. It has no sulfur smell either because it has none.
