playing with 10 gr Unique

[swheeler]

I just used cci 200 primers in my load in my post above. Unique is a pretty fast powder... i’d Be a bit leary of using a filler with it.... just saying.
When working up my load I just made sure the powder was resting in the bottom of the case by raising the bbl. before each shot.

Sounds like good advice to me!

I would not consider it just a rifle powder Lyman correlates Unique with just about every pistol cal available. Whatever you do do not compress Unique at all even with filler I had a bad situation sometime back where I had a overpressure situation. Now I don't use Unique for 45-70s anymore or any large Case

Unique is quite versatile. When it was first created, it was intended as a rifle powder. Bullseye, which is the exact same formula but different shape, is the pistol powder. It is also versatile, being used for cat sneeze loads in rifles as well as standard loads in pistols.

And this is the best you can contribute to the conversation?

Rather than use a filler you should go up on the charge. You were already told those fact(s). If you have done your due diligence by reading the stickies on fillers you would know that there can be risk involved when using a filler. You can ring the chamber/barrel. Yet, you persist in using a filler where it is not applicable. Therefore, “do as you wish, hope everything works out for you”.

I gave you sound advice in post #14, you chose to ignore it, now if and when you ring a chamber maybe you'll learn. Ringy dingy

*NO FILLER*

Do so forewarned and at your own risk. You may never have it happen, but we know it happens, so why chance it?
