Has anyone tried the "New" Unique

[jwrowland77]

I really like Unique. As a fairly new reloader, it's easy to see if there is a charge in a 9mm case and there absolutely no way to double charge.

As far as whether it's dirty or not, it is but not that bad. In my 9mm I use 5.9 under a 115gr fmjrn and it seems just as dirty as all the others I've tried.

Runs great. Is clean enough. Versatile.

I have been casting boolits and using Unique since the 1960s, mostly for .45 acp, but also for other cast boolit applications. I keep several pounds on hand for if need arises, it will be my go to powder for handguns, rifles and shotguns, as it will get'er done in all of them

Good grief!

Ahhh, cut him a break. It's his first post. I did that a few times when I was starting off on the forums too.

I loved the old Unique. It was dirty, especially when used with cast bullets, but cleaning guns is part of the charm.

I love the new Unique. If it's any less dirty than the old Unique, you couldn't prove it by me. Mainly because 98% of my shooting is with my own cast bullets, but also because if it's any "cleaner" it's not enough to make any sort of practical difference. Still gotta clean'em.

I like clean burning powders as much as anybody, but Unique doesn't make enough mess for me to worry about. Some people hate it, and some people love it. I like it well enough to use it in a couple of applications.

Yep, besides, we haven't debated the cleanliness, or lack thereof, of Unique lately, although I am pretty sure neither side ever converts anyone very often.

The new Unique is a little cleaner than the old version. I have used Unique for many years because it produces accurate loads for me. In fact, I use Unique and Bullseye for all my handgun loads.

I actually never used the "old" version of Unique - by the time it was on my bench it was all the new flavor.

It works for me. I currently use it behind cast lead and coated lead (a la Bayou bullets) for USPSA. Once this last bottle runs out I'm probably going to try something a bit faster burning though just to see if I can cut down on the felt recoil of my loads (probably Red Dot or HP38).

That's probably true for most discussions/arguments.

I use a ton of Unique and never understood why folks cry so much about it being dirty. Most of the smoke present is from cast bullet lube. The rest just wipes off.

That's correct. I'm still right, and the guy who doesn't agree with me is still wrong! :banghead::banghead:
