    Power Pistol in .45-70

    I see tons of load data for using Unique, for reduced power loads, but virtually nothing for Power Pistol. Looking at the burn rates, they're very close to each other. Is there anybody that is using/has used Alliant Power Pistol in a .45-70? I happen to have an abundance of it and was considering working on some loads with it.

    I finally obtained a feedback post!

    I have no power pistol here.
    but looking at it some and talking to others that have used the powder I wouldn't hesitate to use unique data with it.

    I’ll have to ask a buddy to run it through quickoad. Then ask him to run the loads through his rifle first ��
