My favorite pray.. Tin cans! Good times!
I figured I'd add my dos centavos.
7.62x54R
Mosin 91/30, NOE 316-203-RN (316299),air cooled CWW. Sized .316, dip lubed in BLL #2. OAL at 2.969", for the big ol' throat in this pig.
1.3cc Lee scoop, Universal powder. Lee claims that 1.3cc scoop is just under 12 grains with either Unique or Universal. I suspect it's a bit less than that, but I didn't weigh. Rem 9 1/2 LRP.
I tested a 10-shot string at 50 yds, the last 5 shots in 1.75", battle sights set at 450 yds.
1392 fps, SD 24.7 fps, ES 69 fps. 69 degrees, roughly 900ft altitude.
Is it this one by chance?

Throwing 10.5 gr Unique.....I must try that in my 45-70 1886. I'm using 11gr and a 350 gr boolit now, but wouldn't need to set up my powder measure. Quick and easy...

anybody have a load for 6.5 credmore
I did not know that you could get a break open single shot in 44-40 cal
The priming flask I kept (Brass valve) throws 9.5 grs of Unique. That's fine with me. I tested an old Weaver K6 scope on the Mauser 30-30 with that charge under purple pc LeeC312155 sized to .309"that a member here provided. 7 rounds and then I moved the scope for zero. 1" dot @ 40yds.
