Pistol powder

[skeet]

But mainly cause I got a large container of it at an auction....with a Dillon 1050. Sold the 1050 and the powder went with it. I still have some of it anyway and will use it. My preference in powders for my 45 etc is Unique. Mainly cause I use it in my 20 and 28 ga reloading and it is a powder that can be used for so many calibers. Very forgiving but not as clean as 231. I use it in 357 44mag and 45 colt...and others. When the 231 I have is gone I'll go back to Unique as I have lots of it. I have a lot of powder that i bought at an auction or 2...most of it for about 2 dollars a pound or less. The 8 lb can of 231 I got with the reloader I paid 5 dollars for. I'm cheap. At another auction I got 6 1 lb containers of Varget for 10 dollars. Must have about 200 lbs of powder. I use 5.5 grains of Unique with a 230 gr FMJ in my 45 auto...about 7 gr in the 40 S&W with the 150 gr bullet...I quit loading for the 40 smith. Rather use the 45 anyway
