I figured they were pricey now. I remember when I bought mine. Im sure now they cannot be touched for what I have in mine.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: RanchRoper's Reloading Ruminations
Universal powder looks a little scarce right now. May have to try someting else. I have enough until summer but may try Unique or Trail Boss. IMR Red and Target show in the Hogdon list too.

Re: RanchRoper's Reloading Ruminations
Australian Munitions published a table of powder equivalents that may be useful, including these that they suggest are equivalent:
ADI AP70N; Hodgdon Universal; Alliant Unique; IMR SR 7625; Accurate Arms AA 5; Vihtavuori N330.
ADI AP70N; Hodgdon Universal; Alliant Unique; IMR SR 7625; Accurate Arms AA 5; Vihtavuori N330.
Australian Munitions wrote: [These are] only approximate equivalent values within about 5%. Actual burning rates can vary depending on the calibre, firearm, loading components and practices, as well as from powder lot to lot.

Re: RanchRoper's Reloading Ruminations
You might want to go with Unique. It really favors straight wall PC reloading and meters fairly well.I have enough until summer but may try Unique or Trail Boss.
I hear a lot about Trail Boss but its pretty 'fluffy' and won't meter as well as Unique AND its sold in 9 Oz containers for about the same as Unique in pound size.
Unique is a good Ol' standard powder with a lot of versatility - probably why it's still around since 1898!

Trail Boss favors cast lead, and prolly round sonic speed tops in most.
