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.
