Poll: One powder only

[jonp]

A new poll like this has not been done for some time and I am interested in the responses and whether they have changed with the powder shortage. Has your favorite changed because of the shortage being what you can get and use over several firearms or are you still holding out for a specialty powder.

Please post what you have or have not changed and why. I have changed from picking up what looks interesting to 3 then 2 and now am saving my money for Unique when it pops up somewhere as it can be used in everything I am likely to shoot. Not the best for all applications but it's breadth of usage is hard to match and you could get by with just Unique on your shelf if you had to.

Alliant PowerPistol can be loaded in every pistol cartridge that I know of. I use it in .380 all the way to .500. Truly is not my first choice for all pistol calibers but its the only powder that I know of that works well in all pistol calibers.

There ain't much I can't do with Unique. They named the powder appropriately. Not much out there that can do as much across such a broad spectrum.

Exactly. Unique is not the best in a lot of things but can be used most everywhere.

I refuse to think it! Its an impossible task. When I try I can smell smoke.

One more Unique fan. First powder I loaded and after 50 plus pounds I haven't found a good reason to change.

I can do one pistol/magnum/rifle. But not one total. The shortage isn't at that level for me to even consider it.

^What he said!

Unique if I could only have 1. I have not made any changes in what I use because I have all of them in sufficient quantities. That may change if shortages last much more than a year longer.

Were it not for the fact that Unique meters terribly, I would have chosen Unique. Instead, I had to go with WW231. I'm not a fan of the little scoops. Mike

Why just one? I could probably get by with two, one for rifle and one for pistol.

[Keyston44]

I picked Unique also. It works for all the hand guns I load for and I've used it in most the rifles.

Despite the fact I have not located even a single pound of it to buy in over two years:

UNIQUE

[dondiego]

Unique because I make my own black powder.

[ShooterAZ]

Unique here..it can make any gun go bang. May not be the best application for all...but it works.

[Radarsonwheels]

I use accurate #9 a lot. Also 4227

[s1120]

about the only powder that will work in the cartridges i need to load is unique. Well 2400 would work also, but that would loose any chance of downloading....

[jonp]

One powder only if squeezed to it
