You can still get it in 500gm tubs. Its a large green flake powder and about 6gns half fills a case. double load spills out the top.
Use it with a 200gn rnfp bullet and you have a soft shooting clean burning load.
I moved to CSB5 after the lack of bulk AS and that works well but is a dark colour so not so visible in the case when loading.
Both of these are fast shotgun powders.
Another excellent powder is Vectan BA10 - which was very popular in pistol days and is also brightly coloured and clean burning.
just quickloaded those powders and are suitable at around 1000 fps.
going to try and scrounge some lol and test i out for her as i have a couple of tubs of unique to use up
