    PB wonderful pistol powder, so I think.

    I don't see quite where to put this. I didn't see a pistol section.
    I received a "Unique" can of fluffy shotgun powder from an estate but it's clearly not Unique.

    Perforated grey disk powder similar to 700x but no markers. It is not Herco but appears to be PB and gives a wonderful 45 load at 4.7 gr with a 200 gr boolet. Superbly precise at 788 fps. Clean and soft shooting. Delightful! Did you ever use it?

    What am I going to do to replace it when it's gone? Maybe Solo 1000.

    PB is a golden oldie. I was not aware that it had been discontinued, has it? I have used it in shotgun charges and 45Colt. I think I still have some in my hoard of goodness.

    ps: Evidently it was discontinued about 7 years or so ago. Too bad, very versitile.
