I've got a surplus of Unique and want to burn some of it up behind a 140 gr. 6.5mm GC boolit in my .260 Remington. Does anyone have experience with Unique in either of these cartridges, good or bad? If it's good, do you have any loading data that you would share. I'm just looking for plinking loads, 16-1800 fps maximum. Thanks for the help!

Thanks Buckshot! I was going to start my load development there and work up by 1 gr. at a time to 13 grs. of Unique. I have a bunch of shotgun powders that I'm discovering are quite useful for cast boolit loads. They'll be used more for this than shooting clays with the price of shot where it is at...

I am using 11 grains of Unique behind a 130 gr. group buy lovern style boolit in 6.5 x 55mm swede loading. Seems to be more accurate than I am with the stock open sights and has a nice report to it.
