Russian Shotgun/Pistol Powder

Forgive my ignorance, but is the powder with that title on HiTech's site that some are referring to as Russian "Unique" and is it the same powder that is listed on McDonald's site?

I believe this has turned up on Pat's reloading as "Salut" russian shot shell powder, on Hi-tech as Russian Pistol /Shotgun Powder, and elsewhere as russian unique as it is similar in burn rate.

hi tech refers to it as russian unique. i have been using it in my 45acp and it works really well. seems to be about 1/2gr faster than unique in my loads. hope this helps
