I was slightly optimistic a few months back, there was a possibility of getting a part keg (?) of Unique from an estate. Finally found out last week that it had clumped up and was disposed of.

Laughter through tears.

That is a shame. I had some Unique that clumped, and I stirred it to break up the clumps. It then worked just fine, with no difference in accuracy or velocity from fresh Unique. So sorry.

I while back a relative gave me some old 700x he said it was ok . I noticed some small clumps in it I shook it up and they broke apart so I used it and it seemed to be fine .

A part of a keg of Unique would be have been like finding a treasure chest!

My two 15 lb. kegs of Hercules Unique aren't clumped but the paperboard keg is foil lined. :)

Just set it on top of your stove on high to dry it out. That's what we do with our Black Powder. :bigsmyl2:

I was going to use a long kitchen match to see if I got the clumps out...
