[AlaskanGuy]

Yeeee Hawwww.... A buddy smugg er. Opps... Brought me 2 1lb jugs of 4895 today... Wooo hooo.... Havent seen any of this in so long, I forgot what it looks like... Very purty purple plastic jugs.... Last time I had any of this it was in a metal can...lol....

Now.... What to do with it...

I got a lb of 4895, but if I ever see a 8 lb jug of Unique again, I'm gonna snatch it up and bring it home and put it under my bed and sleep on it!!!!
Sorry for hogging up a big jug all to myself...... but a 8 lb'er will hold me for two years.

Unique has become far too unique. Sorry for the pun, I just shot the last of my 30-30 loaded with Unique today. I wonder when I will be able to make some more.

Finally seeing some more powders on LGS shelves around here, & raised primer limits from 200 to 400... Picked up 2# H4895 the other day, which I haven't seen since I first started reloading a couple years ago. Also noted with some surprise that it was now cheaper than the IMR stuff (which was also on the shelf).

Stopped in today after work on a whim & saw a lonely pound of Unique sitting there lookin all neglected, so I brought it home with me - Haven't seen any of that in almost as long! I threw it in with the one other pound I'm 'hoarding' to see if they'll reproduce!!

Ah, I got that stuff months ago.....

Found it on gunbot, and picked up several pounders, along with Varget, and 300-MP. I know the feeling though. I went about a year and a half without any H4895. Get some red dot to plink with too while you are at it.

I know the feeling. I was happy yet mad at the same time. I was able to pick up 4895 in jugs. But there was no break in price compared to the one pounders. I won't complain about $25 a pound though.

I would love to find some shotgun powder.... Any shotgun powder.... Havent seen any forever.... If it wasnt for my stash of unique, about 6 lbs left, i wouldnt be shooting shot shell at all...

Hey, if I had time for a vacation in Alaska I would bring you some.My wife and I were planning one this summer, but I have to much to take care of till next summer. Maybe then I can go fishing up there.By then Alaskans would have forgot the name Todd Hoffman, and the Oregon idiots so I should be good. I stashed clays, universal,red dot, and blue dot before all of this garbage started rolling downhill. I haven't used clays in 3 years, and the universal has been collecting dust. That reminds me, I should play with that lyman 525 12g mold some more, and see if I can get a decent load that doesn't blow wads.
I like the shotgun powders for pistol loads, but have started to go back to ball powder. It seems to give better results in the accuracy department.

Your in business now - Make it last.

[AlaskanGuy]

lol You are right.... Just need to see what I want to reload with it.... I dont wanna just spread it all over my different reloading Cali's.. I will use it for something specific and use it up... I wonder how it would do in my 375 h&h.... Would love to give it a try with the Lyman 375449
