    Better 45acp 230gr JHP bullets

    The perfect 30-30 load for new shooters

    I loaded thsee about 20 years ago. Knew they were normal accuracy for a 30-30 lever gun. I burned up about a hundred 30-30s loaded with 120gr bullets over 7gr of unique. They were shooting about 1 inch at 25 yards. When I have been able to find load data for unique and a small bullet like that...

    225 Gr and Unique, 700X or Trail Boss

    I recently bought a box of 225 gr Bullets (all I could find) for my 45LC hoping I could load it using Unique, 700X or Trail Box but the closest I can find is (from Alliant) "230gr and 8.5 gr, w/Unique. I'm looking for suggestions of the amount of powder (any of the 3 named) to load under 225 gr...

    380 carbine reloading

    I searched going back to 2014 for a 380 carbine reloading post, no dice. Don't say get a 9mm carbine because I will at some point. This is all part of a plan, since my wife took my 380 sig P232 and I'm thinking she might do the same with a 380 long gun. The idea is reload maybe some +P ammo in...

    Unique for 38 Special?

    I'm working on my first 38 special handloads and have some questions that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on. I've been reloading for about 5 years now and i finally got a chronograph last week to start recording velocities of my handloads and I noticed something unusual when metering...

    Source for PDF of Lyman Reloading Manual #44

    While looking for loading data for cast bullets for 45-70 and Unique powder I came across an online PDF of Lyman Reloading Manual #44, which contains much more information than the newer versions. It can be found here: http://www.nzha.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Lyman44.pdf

    Unique

    Hello All Anyone out there reload 9mm, 115gr FMJ round nose with Unique? All I am finding in my manuals and on Alliant website is around 4.7gr starting and 6gr max loads with a min COAL of 1.135”. Even the starting load seems to be close to compressed. Heck, if I put 6gr in the case (if it will...

    Retirement Planning

    I wanted to get most of my reloading needs taken care of before I retired when my wife's and my income will drop. I'm nearly there. But during the shortages of the last few years, I was in the mode of "see powder, buy powder" and so I've got something of a mixed bag when it comes to pistol...

    A Little Goes A Long Way - Even Further When It's 100 Degrees Outside

    Last year I started using Hornady Unique case lubricant. On the package they say, "a little goes a long way" and after I developed a light enough touch that I wasn't overdoing it, I was surprised to find that I had lubricated more than 3,000 cases and still had barely used any of the tub...

    Unique and metering

    I've created a cardboard baffle with two hole on each side for my powder dispenser because of issue's I've had in the past with Unique. Just doesn't seem to measure very accurately. The good news is I'd know if I had a double charge. I only use it for my lead loads in my 44 mag at 8.3grains...
