Cripes! Unique powder is limited available
Right now for mid-fifties per lb. Should a fella stock up while you can? That hurts my soul, that much. But I started with it, know how it’s going to work. I guess if only for sentimental reasons it’s my favorite. Pistol, shotgun, and rifle applications can be found.
I wonder what’s going to come out of war surplus, if any, in the future? I can about buy .50 BMG less than .300 Mag. lol
It's only money.. and you won't miss it in 6 months
Besides .. it ain't worth half as much as it was worth when we started shooting ....
Good perspective! I started out loading .44's
Magnum and Specials as it was notably more costly to shoot than my buddies, who all had .357's. Unique worked well until I got hold of some 2400 later on.
The second powder I ever bought was some "PB" in little square tea tin looking containers. I got 6-8 tins, I think they may have been 8 oz. containers too. Boy what a deal, less than $2 per (maybe $1.60-$1.80). I had to scrounge some really OLD manuals to find some useful load data. Also the powder granules were actually square! It was good .45 ACP powder too.
Back when primers were $1.25 a hundred
It took all day to make enough money to by a thousand. In the 60's I made a dollar an hour.
