I have a MP 125-359 mold. I beagled it so that it dropps at .360. My SP-101 needs that size of boolit since I reamed the cylinders on it. (long story there). I have been using 3 grains of Bullseye behind it. The boolit weighs 131 to 132 grains. This round is for my wife and for target shooting. I have been looking for a load using Unique but haven't found anything yet that is real close. I was thinking of using 4 grains of Unique. I want something that doesn't have the recoil of Bullseye. Cindy is just starting to shoot and my 13 yr. old granddaughter wants to start also. I figure if I can find something real mild to start with, they would enjoy it more. So what would be the minimum load of Unique I could use or is there something better?
It seems that most don't like Unique of a light boolit. I don't know if 131 grains is a light boolit or not.
I got this from an old post:
The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 3rd Ed. lists the following loads for cast 38 SPL tested in universal receiver (to get the CUP press.#s) with a groove diameter of .357:
Lyman 141 gr cast # 358495 linotype
Unique start- 3.8 10,300 CUP
I would think that would work....
