I FINALLY found an 8 pound jug of Unique

[Cholo]

I've found a pound here and a pound there, but I havn't seen an 8# jug for under $212 +tax. It was $150 +tax. I'm cool with that. The last 8# jug I bought was $109 +tax. I passed on 2-4 # jugs of Power Pistol at $80 +tax each. Went to another nearby box store and they had Federal Champion .22's for $2.49 +tax (50 count), 10 box max. They work fine when I'm out with the granddaughters.

Other powders may have eclipsed Unique over the years, but I can run out of all of my handgun powders and keep on loading with good old Unique :mrgreen:

Most powders seem to be showing up around here also. Unique, 231, Clays, 2400, Red Dot and so on.

Not much Bullseye yet, for some reason, but there is a small amount.

I got two 8 lb jugs of Unique about 4 months ago,, at $130 or so,, if I recall correctly. I just got 3 jugs (4 lbs each,) of Universal,,, as a sorta back up to Unique. They cost me a bit more at $100 a jug.
Still,,, at least powder is becoming more readily available in more places & hopefully the prices will return to a more reasonable range & not gouge us.

I got an 8 lb. jug of Accurate #9 a while ago from Midway when they had no HazMat charges. I'm good for 357 and 44 magnums in handguns and rifles. :D

I haven't even saw unique! But I did pick 8# of Acurate No5 and 8# of W 296 and Couple of #'s each of 800X, Longshot, and 5# of SR 7625. 1# N320i
I need to slow down a bit I guess but never know when the shortage will return though. The W296 came in today along with needed primers from Midsouth.$26.00 has fee but not bad when you consider the LGS prices.

I am thinking now would be a good time to start stocking up considering we are going to have an election in November and nobody knows what the market will be like after that. :D

 

[Cholo]

It's def.a good time to start stocking up. Who wants to get caught with their britches down if there a shortage of this and that in our future?

 

[Bayouhunter]

Cholo you and Jimbo are right of course I've been doing ok restocking everything though the powder lead isn't lasting that long. Seems I keep sending it downrange! 100#'s of lead doesn't last long when I shoot 38/357, 40, 41, 44, 45 cals.
But I do enjoy casting.

 

[Cholo]

Bayouhunter, what I lack most is the lead bullets. I need to do something about that sooner than later.

HI...


I have been seeing 8# jugs of Unique, Blue Dot, 2400 and Bullseye and a few others fairly regularly around south central Pennsylvania. Prices have been running in the $120-130 range.

I am well stocked on powders but will be stocking some 8#'s in the near future to augment my emergency reserves.
