Who would have ever thought 8 pounds of Unique would be going for just under $500 with the hazmat charge. :eek:

$400 for an 8 lb jug of E3. That's a very good powder. Buy them when you see them.

Have they officially ceased 20/28 production?

Pete, Unique was my first love for my 20 ga. 870 in high school days, less than $20 a pound. Scary what we now pay for powder. Recently bought some Reloader 22. $90 a pound. Fortunately split the order with a couple of friends, they also bought powder so the hazmat split 3 ways.

When the last of my Unique is gone it's gone for good. Currently you can buy 8lbs of Winchester 572 or Hodgdon Longshot for $100 to $120 less than Unique. They all make a gun go boom.

I switched to Longshot a while back when powder was impossible to find. Good stuff.I now use it for a number of loads, different gauges. It is excellent for low pressure loads for Damascus, get you down in the 5000s. Cheap and readily available. Only drawback I see is in cold weather it doesn't burn real clean but I'm suspicious that's true with most low pressure loads. That's certainly been my experience.

Thanks for sharing, just ordered some Unique, which is also my go to load for 20ga damascus...
