I could get by with Unique. Would it be stellar in every thing I load for, no, but I could get by without being too handicapped.

UNIQUE for handguns and 4895 for rifles they dont compete but they cover everthing between them.
Life would be harder without Unique . Once it's stabilized in the measure , Uniflow or Dillon , it works just fine for anything I've put it to .

Buy it cheap and stack it deep , you may need it !
Black Rifles Matter
I just got a couple of jugs of BR-5, it is supposed to be a ball powder replacement of Unique. It sings in 9mm and .45 ACP. 7 grs of it in a 30-30 with a 150 gr. bullet is sheer range fun.
Black powder of course. Any more it is the only powder I use so I'm there.
I use mostly Bullseye, it works very well with my hand guns 45 Auto and my 9mm

I would go with Smokes Wine Red, seem to give the best coverge for me!
Take a kid to the range, you'll both be glad you did.

as they say in latin
I use blackhorn 209 for most every thing, just need mag primers, sometimes hard to light, told by blackhorn factory>>
H4895...AR2206H as I use it in .223 and did use it in .308w it CAN be used in .270w...not ideal but it works, pretty sure it goes in the .45/70 too 2208 definately does.... but black smelly stuff works well... trail boss would just about have to be up there with most versitile,although pressures can be rather high compared to other powders for same velocity.
AP70N which is Universal & Unique in American..........
"Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too."
I would choose IMR-Hodgdon 800-X. A little slower than Unique, but more forgiving, more velocity, & usually prints heavy boolits lower on the target.
I choose 4227, Corn Flakes would go great with 4227.

Might turn that Vihtavuori N350 works in every pistol I like to shoot. I’ll find out pretty soon.
Unique covers them all Universal is close.
I guess I would select Unique if forced to choose only one but it would sure neuter about half the rifles i own and make them worthless. I have a bunch of 22 centerfires, 17 Remington, 25-06, 257 Weatherby, 270 Winchester that would be so throttled back using Unique as to be useless.
The handguns would be happy though as Unique shines there.
The larger bore rifles that I shoot cast in would still be capable of killing deer. The 32-20 Marlin 1894 loves Unique so nothing would change.
I prefer Red Dot in my shotgun loads because i like lighter loads with less recoil but have all the stuff I need to load Unique in 12 Gauge so that wouldn't be a significant problem there either.
was raised on bullseye for everything handgun, thats my go to for our matches, and most of my pistols.
