American Pioneer Powder actually smokes more than black powder does. That's pretty common knowledge around people that shoot the stuff in SASS Matches. I used to load it when it was called CleaNshot and later when the name was changed to APP also. I loaded it for 12 Ga, .38-40 and .44 Mag when I was shooting Frontier Cartridge class in the SASS Matches.
One of the best things about APP is you don't have to use a lube with it. It makes it's own lube plus it cleans up a lot easier than black powder. It will corrode brass though so we used to keep a jug of soapy water with us during the match to dump our brass in to make it easier to clean the brass later.
