    I bought an electronic scale just to weigh 800-X powder. I use a lot of it.

    Me too. Too bad it's now discontinued.

    I'm glad this thread has stayed open as I have learned alot from it and look forward to whatever is added. We are getting slightly better but still limited availabilty of powders

    True Blue and HS-6 have been available to me and cover a wide range of pistol applications.
    I could be wrong - it happens at least daily.

    This thread should really be in the "Factory and Surplus Powder" area. I just found it and I've been around here for a few years!
    It is easier to forgive than to dispose of a body.

    I'll add that Winchester WinClean 244 is one of the more available and affordable powders right now and is a good substitute for Unique or 231 if you are staying within published loads for cartridges like .38 Special, .357, 9mm, and .45 ACP.
