slk Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Does anyone know a reputable place to buy some Unique? I am skeptical about some of the places on the internet. If anyone knows of a good deal out there please chime in. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I haven't seen Unique in a retail store in at least three years. The best deal I see in stock online at the moment is $58.75/lb, delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I did not Unique was so hard to find . I usually buy mine at about any where , But Dan's is one of my go to places . https://www.dansammo.com/ I probably have 10 pounds of Unique . As a back up I use Universal powder . Unique and Universal are just about the same formula tit for tat. I use the same load for everything so far . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cholla Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 You didn’t say where you are but Sportsman Warehouse and Cal Ranch have it from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itchy Trigger Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 It has been on the shelves in Texas for about 6 months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Just saw some at Bass Pro HQ Store here in Springfield MO last week. Get ready for serious sticker shock I still have about 12 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Graybeard Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Powder Valley is another place with a good reputation. Don't know what they have in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I use a lot of unique. 45-70, 45-60, 38-55, 44 mag. My supply is getting low, down to about 8 lbs I’ve been watching for it, not seeing much. I’ve heard it is used in howitzer shells, so a lot of it is being bought up by US govt for the war in Ukraine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still hand Bill Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I got a jug from brownells in the last 6 months. Only time I have found it on the shelves in the last few years. Not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 So many better (cheaper, available) alternatives.... But if you HAVE to have it (rather than just want it), make the rounds at all the on-line powder vendors once a week and then be willing to pay the hazmat duty.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Unique was the first smokeless powder available in the USA. You can load every cartridge or SG round used in this game with it. Just don't load it at 'fly-fart' level ..... The second choice is WW-231/HP38(same powder).

Warden Callaway Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Several years back we were going grocery shopping. Got about two miles from Grafs and I mentioned Grafs had Unique on sale. I didn't get out any details or finish my argument. But Mary said, "You better get some." We stopped in and did just that. We have lots of Unique, Red Dot and TighGroup.

I've been watching my local Sheels and while they have a wide variety of powders, no Unique. The local reloading shop who always has powder has also seen so Unique. Might be a regional distribution thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
