Unique will cover all of these:

32acp
45acp
44 special
357 mag
38 special
9mm

Load Unique to near max or it's pretty dirty. But it's named correctly because it's so versatile.

2400 is hard to beat for screamer .357 mag loads.

Yep - I use 2400 for .357mag and .44 mag; as for Unique, I'm looking to buy an 8lb jug, so if adluginb happens to be making the trip (to Powder Valley, I presume?) - I wonder if he'd mind picking some up for some of the local brothers?

New unique isn't really dirt, like the old formula. I agree with above, but prefer clays for .45acp.

The O/P asked about Alliant powders.
I actually prefer WST for .45 and for good hollow point "social loads" AA#5 gets the nod.

just got 5lb of unique on another group buy... how much will this batch cost?

Make sure of the sales tax situation before driving up. In the past, anything picked up locally had to pay KS sales tax. Get the order together then compare shipping plus haz-mat costs versus sales tax and driving (gas) costs. You may not save that much money by not shipping it; run the numbers and find out.

For real 357 mag loads, don't forget blue dot. It burns very clean and consistent at magnum pressures and gives close to max velocity.

Solo 1000 for .45 acp, 9mm and .38 spcl. I like Titegroup for the 9mm with jacketed bullets but not for cast.

The sales tax in Winfield couldn't be much higher than Tulsa; even at 10%, your tax for an 8lb jug of Unique would be $9.85 ($98.50/8lbs). Gas + tax still wouldn't add up to the $25 hazmat + shipping costs.
