I like Unique simply because I got 9 lbs of it for $75. It was one of the first powders I used when I started reloading .357 as a 16 year old back in the day. I prefer the bulkiness of it. It's generally cheaper for me than Universal Clays (Hodgdon commands high prices at local shows for some reason),and measures better for me than AA#5. I haven't found any better mid range powder considering price and features.

Speaking of can collecting,does anyone want one of the old cardboard Unique 8# kegs? It's the early 1980's Hercules Unique label style.
I've also got a 1970's style can that will be empty reasonably soon. I have no idea what to do with them other than toss them out.
