I've been loading for the old warhorse .45 Colt for many years. As posted above I started out with Unique. We all know especially with the older Unique anything below max was going to leave a lot of residual unburned flakes behind. Similar but a bit cleaner results with Universal. Because of its...

I bought several pounds a few years back. Whenever I'd see it I'd pickup another pound or 4 here and there. It's very similar to Unique, but when loaded up near max charge burned much cleaner than the pre-update Unique formula. Alliant has priced themselves off my list. Many times I can find...

If you don’t think they’re still relevant, look at prices on IMR4350. $55+/lb. Varget and Universal Clays are the two newest powders I’ve adopted, that was about 20 years ago.
