I got lucky lately.....a guy on one of the forums that I visit occasionally was moving to Alaska, passing through Canada, and couldn't take his reloading stuff with him. I was able to pick up a brand new 8lb container of W231 for $130. HP38 (same thing as W231) is my favorite powder...very versatile. I don't shoot as much as a lot of guys on here, but I was really getting low on the HP38...down to about a half pound. In the mean time, I picked up a couple pounds of Unique, which I've never used, but read that it's a pretty versatile powder much like HP38. And just last weekend I bought a pound of W296 as I intend to start loading 44 magnum, followed by 357 magnum. A pound of powder really doesn't go too far with full house 44 magnum loads, I'm finding....a little over 300 rounds per pound!
