I have a lb. of Unique and was going to try it in some 357 magnum rounds with some cast 158gr bullets. I checked the Alliant website and it shows 6gr of Unique as the charge for this weight bullet. Not really looking for top-end rounds (hence, the cast bullets) but my 1873 lever gun doesn't like to load 38 specials, which is a shame.
I checked what everyone else is using and thinks of this powder for 357, and I see charges for LEAD bullets going up to 7, 8 and 9gr of Unique!
It was my understanding that you take the charge weight shown on Alliant's website and REDUCE that by 10 percent for a starting load and not exceed the charge weight listed. Did I miss something or are some of these guys reloading on the metric system?
Anyone have any Unique loads and please explain what I'm apparently NOT seeing. Again, thanks in advance.
