Powders for old guns?

I agree 100% on the flexibility, and "just works good in nearly anything" of Unique powder. It has been around approx. 100 years, and still does the job. Some folks complain that it doesn't meter as good as others, but if you are not loading to the max. loads, it should pose no problems. Different powder measures throw loads differently, as you know. I have just not had a problem with metering Unique Powder, and I started using it in 1971-72 timeframe, and still use it in many calibers. Give it a try, I think that you will like it. It is a medium burner, and is pretty forgiving.
