I still have a few pounds of Russian Unique. I was thinking of using it for 12 Ga. I'm not going to try it unless I can find someone that has done it.

Hide behind a tree with a string to test fire and use an inexpensive gun.

Never heard of it. Was it a Russian attempt to duplicate Unique powder?

The Russian champion shooters are like rock stars in the US. The target guns and ammo are top quality. They are a shotgun people, so it follows that their shotgun shell powder sould be of good quality.

Says this was a powder sold by a couple of surplus powder vendors. This thread was from 2013 so probably not available at this time.

I bought a few boxes of Russian “Salut” years ago. I feel it is a tiny bit dirtier than Unique but it works and the price was right.

I also bought a few jugs of Surplus AA2200 and AA2230 at the same time.

I bought it many years ago. I wish I had bought several hundred pounds of it.
