Texas Jack Black Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Talk about a clear case of sticking it to the shooters. Unique was 19. 98LB just before Covid. SAD INDEED 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I was happy to replenish my stock of Unique. I use it a lot. 45-70. 45-60. 38-55, 30-40 Krag, 7.5x55 Swiss, 44 mag, 44-40, could use it in 12G & 38sp. It’s a very versatile powder! May not be the best for any one thing, but can be used for almost anything. I Was down to about 2lbs. Yes the price is higher than pre-covid/pre-Biden/pre-Ukraine but it is what it is. I got 16lbs, which should last me 3-4 years or so. Came to 45/lb with shipping & hazmat. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Eyes Hudson Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I have been looking for load data for Unique and can find none. In my Lyman load manual, no mention of Unique any where's. Suggestions welcomed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have manuals I can photograph pages for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Just about the most commonly covered powder for handgun reloading. Must be looking at the wrong manuals or under cartridges not well suited to a medium burn rate handgun powder. Unique is distributed by Alliant. If you are looking at the Hodgdon's loading data site or pamphlets, good luck. GJ Edited February 27 by Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The last time I looked at Alliant's data for Unique it was pretty hot for CAS. But like Jack Spade said, some of us have books with CAS-friendly data - I know I do, and would be happy to share if you tell us what you are loading.

It was introduced before WWI giving us decades of load development. Go to alliantpowder.com. Select the products tab then select handgun. Select Unique and then select view all Unique recipes. I load 357 mag and 44 mag with Unique and also some rifle gallery loads. In a pinch it is good for shotgun shells and any handgun cartridge I shoot (excluding rimfire of course) Edited February 27 by Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Powder Valley shows 1-lb jars of Unique in stock. Keep in mind that Vista Outdoors warned that Alliant- branded powders will be scarce this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
