I remember buying a pound of Universal soon after it was introduced. As I recall, I tried it in some autoloader, revolver, and shotshell loads (all somewhat light loads). Seems I typically had some residual flakes after firing. Used up the pound in 12 ga. shotshell loads and haven't bought it since. It may work fine for some applications, but I didn't care for it in the light loads I was loading at the time.
