    Unique powder pricing

    I was over at the Black Sheep store in C'DA Idaho yesterday, and they had Unique on the shelf for $26.99/lb. I swallowed hard and came home with two pounds. What kind of pricing are you seeing in your area, or is it still un-obtainable?

    Haven't seen any Unique in months. But the price you saw seems to be about the going rate for all powder in eastern Wisconsin

    I just picked up 2 pounds of Unique last weekend for $21.99. I'm fortunate that Sportsmans Warehouse has been keeping fair prices and unique has been popping up more and more.

    Scheel's in Reno has been out of most popular powders for so long it's ridiculous. They keep empty canisters on display and a clip board hanging from the shelf. You have to look at the clip board to see which ones are actually in stock.

    The local hardware store here in Alturas is now stocking gun supplies since one of our retailers closed and I'm grateful for that........however.......he's stocking any powders available and most are very slow burning. Precious few of those too.

    I bought two pounds last Friday in Newport Maine for 24.99 per pound. They even had some eight pounders of BE, Red Dot, and four pounders of Power Pistol. I was just happy to start seeing some pistol powder.

    And I paid 25¢/gallon for gas back then too!

    Last time I saw Unique 'round these parts, it was $29/#. I do not use it because it is just too darned dirty and there are far better, more readily available pistol/SG powders out there at good prices.

    Recently bought five one-pound cans each of Unique and Bullseye for $28.99 here in southern California. Picked up a couple 2400 for the same price as well .
    Pricey but is was the first pistol powder I have found in over a year !

    Bought an 8 pound jug for $210 last month at the local range which is known for their high prices and was darn happy to get it. Have not seen any around here in many months.

    Been looking for an 8 lb.'er for nearly two years. Got close a couple of times, but always a day late and a dollar short. Yer lucky!

    Had a chance to pick up an 8 pounder at the last gun show, but I couldn't swallow the $215 price tag. Picked up their last 1 pounder for $29 though...

    I picked up 2 pounds for $22/lb. Sportsman's Warehouse. Better deal than I thought.

    There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.

    New Jersey - $23 plus tax from a commercial caster that has a decent price for all the powders he carries

    Hi...

    Last I bought was $19.99/lb about a month ago.
    It fluctuates locally depending on LGS, highest I have seen lately is $23.99/lb.

    Gun show a couple of weeks ago was higher...don't recall the exact price but remember a discussion about how it was cheaper at several LGS.
