    Was at a gunshow in Loveland, CO last weekend. Unfortunately, the guy in front of me got the unique on the table. $20 lb for powder. I got 3 lbs of 296 and a bag of new 218 bee brass!!

    This Askov show has always been good. Lots of nice older stuff.

    Don't use Unique from those old style cans. You'll shoot your eye out kid!

    To keep you safe--- Better let one of us older guys dispose of it properly.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    From what I'm reading on Powerline Minnesota is not far from New York nonsense nowadays which is too bad. I've traveled north and south in the state and it is a really great place.

    Now the Dems up there want to ban gas powered chainsaws, lawnmowers and Zambonis? Is there a problem with Zambonis?

    I usually dispose of it about 4 or 5 grains at a time.

    Yep, putting it in small containers with a very tight lid is probably the safest way to store it.

    There was a gun show in a nearby town last weekend. Almost everything there was way above retail.

    Ive been loading out of one of those paper containers for a long time. When it was given to me it had 1967 written on it by the original owner.

    Back to reality. Just ordered 2000 small pistol primers and 4 lbs. of VV N340 from Natchez. That made a dent.....
