Precision. Passion. Resilience.

At Smokeless Powder CA, we’re not just a company — we’re a story of resilience, craftsmanship, and commitment to the highest standards in firearms components and performance-grade smokeless powder.

Founded in 2017 in the heart of Florida, USA, Smokeless Powder began with a simple mission: to make premium, reliable, and responsibly sourced reloading powders available to firearms enthusiasts, competitive shooters, and outdoor sportsmen who demand the very best.

What began as a humble operation in a small Fort Lauderdale warehouse soon flourished into one of the Southeast’s most respected niche suppliers of smokeless powder, respected for our attention to quality, personalized customer care, and a strong foundation in ethical business practices.

A New Chapter in Canada

After seven successful years of growth and community building in the United States, 2024 brought both challenge and change. A tragic warehouse fire — sparked by a rare electrical fault — devastated not only our inventory but our facility, leading to months of loss, legal recovery, and rebuilding. Thankfully, no lives were lost, but the impact on our tight-knit team and loyal customer base was deeply felt.

Rather than view this tragedy as an end, we saw it as a turning point.

In 2025, we made the bold decision to relocate our operations to Vancouver, British Columbia, bringing our expertise and passion to Canada’s growing and underserved market of responsible firearms owners and reloading professionals.

Today, Smokeless Powder CA represents a refined, reborn version of our original vision — now more aligned with global safety standards, Canadian regulations, and an even stronger focus on customer education and community engagement.

What We Stand For

 

  • Unmatched Purity & Performance:
    We specialize in premium-grade smokeless powder tailored for accuracy, stability, and safety. Every product we distribute is tested, verified, and batch-traceable to ensure confidence from first use to final shot.

  • Regulatory Compliance & Safety:
    Operating under strict Canadian firearms and explosives regulations, we work in full partnership with local authorities, certified suppliers, and independent labs to ensure our powders are not only powerful — but legal, safe, and responsibly handled.

  • For Reloaders, By Reloaders:
    Every member of our leadership team is a skilled reloader, marksman, or hunter. That means we don’t just sell what we think works — we use it ourselves. Whether you’re a hobbyist, a precision shooter, or a licensed dealer, we speak your language and understand your needs.

  • Small Company Values, Global Quality Standards:
    We may not be a corporate giant, and that’s exactly our strength. We’re proud to be independent, agile, and responsive — focused on earning trust one customer at a time, not just hitting mass-market quotas.

💔 A Story That Made Us Stronger

The 2024 warehouse fire was a moment that could have ended everything. We lost over 80% of our inventory, key machinery, and had to let go of staff we considered family. It was a moment of heartbreak — not just because of what we lost, but because of the interruption to the customers and partners who relied on us.

But like the powder we sell, built to endure heat and pressure, we didn’t fold.

Thanks to the overwhelming support from our community, emergency responders, and a few brave investors who believed in our future, Smokeless Powder CA was reborn across the border, better equipped, better protected, and more determined than ever.
