Dang swifty. Do you prefer Unique over it? I'll be shooting jacketed hollow points, not cast bullets.
Bud I gave up popping jhp and fmj long ago. I would rather send a 7 cent bullet down range than a 30 cent bullet for practice, even prefer a hard cast for deer over a jhp in 41 mag.
No I don’t prefer Unique, I do keep a couple of pounds around for nostalgia. My main powder at the moment for 380, 9, 357, 41 and 45acp is old school Red Dot. Bought 16 pounds of it back in 05 at an auction for 2.50 a pound. Mainly bought it for 9 and 45 but discovered at 3-5 grains it was going to take forever to burn it up.
So the powders I keep around in 2-3 pounds are 700X and Titegroup they are real good subs for bullseye and a tad slower than Red Dot so they fill a niche.
800X and CFEpistol work extremely well as a replacement for Accurate #5 which is my favorite for 45acp and 9mm. So again they fill a niche.
Longshot works as a fill in for Accurate 7 and 9. While I don’t shoot a lot of 7, 9 is a favorite in my 41 mag for full house loads. So again just a niche buy.
Accurate 5 and 9 are bought in 8 pounders.
I like variety and options in case 1 favorite powder is unobtainable.
