Why are you stuck on "Unique"??????????
HS6 is widely available, last time I looked and it will do anything better than Unique, from handgun to shotshell loads. It's only slightly slower burning.
I get that you have a load you like, but don't let that stop you from finding equivalent loads with other options.
Something else you're loading for as well, with Unique?
Unique gives a perfect stack height when loading shotgun, same with a lot of the powders that Alliant have
HS6, tight group and others are dense powders and you have to be creative in your wad selections to get the proper stack heights
Unfortunately all the bulky flake powders are nowhere to be found unless you somehow comendere a 155mm shell that’s going to the Ukraine

Hodgdon is a brand that doesn’t actually manufacture a thing.
Pyrodex Corporation manufactures Pyrodex.
You can always pop a cherrio or two in the shotcup before you add the shot ! Been doin it for a while now thanks to a few friends who know how to manipulate loads. Actually, there's lots of guys doin it ...esp with the availability of only the denser Titewad, TiteGroup, and Perfect Pattern family of powders.
Seems to be the only stuff around now since covid and the Russia/Ukraine war. Perfect stack heights and awesome crimps !!
Don't let the lack of your favorite powder stop you from loading and shooting ! Adapt, overcome, and have fun !
Hodgon owns the company however .

You can own companies and not actually make anything.
Yup, some of us have been adjusting the stack height and crimp on shells for years, with cheerios, flax seed, over shot wads, etc!
In fact , I belive it's black Cloud that I took apart at one time to take a look at the shot- they use flax on top of the shot charge to make the crimps look perfect!

Yes, but in reality, you are responsible for the manufacturing of the product , no?
But no. They do not have a Hodgdon plant. You are correct in that respect.

So they own Pyrodex, but they don't manufacture Pyrodex! LMAO! You sure do like to split hairs to make sure you sound/look right all the time. I guess in your world conglomerates like Johnson & Johnson don't actually produce anything, eh? No need to respond, the question is rhetorical.

Pyrodex is still made by Pyrodex Corp. Pyrodex Corp. was making Pyrodex long before they were purchased by the Hodgdon Group. Hodgdon has never actually produced anything. That's like saying Black Rock produces GM, Tesla, and VW cars.
It's not like saying that at all. You're wrong, just admit it. You didn't think about Pyrodex when you made an absolute statement, and now you're making yourself look like a fool trying to paste together a rebuttal. Anywho, I'm done with the conversation. I know where this road leads...
No. Pyrodex Corp. has been making Pyrodex since the '70s. It's EXACTLY like above.
"Hodgdon Powder Company offices are located at 6430 Vista Drive in Shawnee, Kansas. The Powder magazine, packaging and manufacturing facilities are maintained about 140 miles southwest of the main office, in Herington, Kansas. Additional magazine space, located on a closed military base, is also leased from the City of Topeka, Kansas."
manufacturing facilities and product storage space, all under the Hodgdon name........sounds like a producer to me too
Can't get into shareholders info without paying so I'll leave it at that

The Hodgdon Powder Company owns the Pyrodex brand. Hodgdon acquired the Pyrodex Corporation in the late 1970s after an initial partnership with the inventor, Dan Pawlak. The history of Hodgdon's ownership of Pyrodex is as follows:
1975:
Hodgdon met with Dan Pawlak, the inventor of Pyrodex, and formed the Pyrodex Corporation with Pawlak as president.
1976:
The new Pyrodex powder was introduced at the NRA show.
1977:
A fire at the Pyrodex plant resulted in the death of Pawlak and several others.
Late 1970s:
Hodgdon purchased the majority interest in Pyrodex and established a new plant in Kansas.
Present:
Hodgdon continues to manufacture and distribute Pyrodex under its own name, and it remains a prominent part of the Hodgdon product line.
If you buy a machine shop, have you produced anything?
