Look at what I found on the shelf

Unique is back but not at a price that I am willing to pay.

Oh MY!

Alliant just stated they would no longer making it, when June?? But now, they are making it and selling, again. I think or do you think, this is some old stock that the shop held back, then just RAISED the price on because, of the none existence of.

I've paid more than that for a smaller bottle of whiskey and never thought about it.

Always been my thoughts when I'd run across old faded boxes of 25-20 ammo!

A pound of TiteGroup or 231 was $20/pound cheaper.

I’ll wait for it to drop a bit.

Hey, it's the first I've heard of or saw in quite a while.

Nothing wrong with titegroup and W231 either. I rather like W231.

I had 7 lbs of Unique out of an 8 lb keg when I stopped by a place a number of years back before COVID. The owner was reviewing his order for powder and he told me that Unique was going up to $199 for an 8 lb keg and recommended that I consider one at his current price of $179.

I asked him how many did he have and he told me 2 8 lb kegs so I bought both. No hazmat or shipping. Just tax at .0354% being in the county. Even after loading up thousands of rds for my leverguns, I still have over 14 lbs of it left. Right place, right time. I keep saying, "It's better to be lucky than smart!"

Double base powders have been going for that much around here but most pistol/shotgun powders are still at around $40. Hope this isn't the new normal.

Where was this? And what Reloder - 2X is that sitting next to it. I'm hoping it's RL-26.

The upside is that a pound of Unique goes a long, long way at my house. But I am happier with Universal in that slot.

I was hoping it was RL-23. I have been looking for some for 3 or 4 years. They say it’s magic in a 7 REM. Mag
