BLC-2 always worked fine for me as well, AA2230 was just more available when I bought a lot of powder.
All you really need is Unique. You can even ue it for reduced power rifle loads with cast bullets. 10 grains of Unique under any 170gr or less .30 cal cast bullet will give a nice practice round in just about anything.
I'm thinking of getting back into reloading again. I used to use a lot of unique 15 years ago. Glad to see it's still around! I used it in most of my pistol loads. Burned well, and a pound goes a long way. Used to use blue dot a lot too in the larger calibres like .357. Sometimes used bullseye in very small loadings. I would read the load data in my books, decide how I wanted the bullet to perform (also consider the projectile's makeup), and used the appropriate powder.
Tyro, do u know if Unique is faster or slower since the change? Did Alliant chg any of the other powders (BDot, etc)?
