    I have tried google and looked at just about all the online reloading stores and no body carries it. I found allot of people liked it and said it works better then anything on the marked. So why would they discontinue it? Does any body out there have a bottle of some RIG #44 with their contact info on the label?

    Here is the data I have for 180gn lead and Unique:

    .40S&W
    Bullet Weight Powder Weight Velocity Start/Max
    Lead 180 Unique 3.8 Mild
    Lead 175-180 Unique 4.7 Start
    Lead 180 Unique 4.8
    L-SWC 180 Unique 5.5 973 Max
    Lead 175-180 Unique 5.5 Max
    L-RNFP 177 Unique 5.5 933
    RCBS40-180-CMRNFP 180 Unique 5.5 944

    I like Outer's Foul-Out when I have a copper of lead issue.
    Other than that, there are several Ammonia-base cleaners for getting out the copper.
