empty legal, full not so much. those look to be in good shape so there might be some collector value to somebody. I already have some that I was given that decorate a shelf.
if you are ever being chased by a taxidermist, don't play dead
The unique and bullseye cans are very very cool.. not worth a lot, but totally cool. I don’t have any of those squatty cans. I do have many of the others.
Any technology not understood, can seem like Magic!!!
I will love the Lord with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind.
The old 4320 can is collectible. Again not worth a great deal, the powder is worth more than the cans if you use it up first. Then list the cans here for shipping cost of a medium FRB and they will find a home on somebody's nostalgia shelf.
The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
Those are pretty neat. Any idea on the date range for the unique and bullseye cans like that?
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
I got a short square red dot can like those, I just used up the 4350 from that same can, that stuff is a lot longer grains than the new stuff
Very cool. Over the weekend, I just finished using a can of Unique, identical to the one in that picture. It has been charging 9mm, 38 and 10mm cases. Still works great! I also recently finished a can of 4198 that looks to be close in age to the 4320 in the photo. The 4198 made some soft shooting 30-30 loads. The granules of the old 4198 look different than modern IMR 4198. The old stock has longer/skinnier granules.
Likewise the vintage Unique granules look different than the modern Alliant version. Shape is close. Alliant looks darker and it is less volumetrically dense.
I'll probably list some of the old cans that I have "free to a good home." Not too sentimental to me.
