i have aa hulls,win primers and 7/8 lee slugs, what loads do you guys have for unique, min max, most load data i can find in my books is for 1 1/8 oz for unique.
thanks

The most I have seen is 33 grains Unique with 7/8 Lee slug. I would start at 30 grains.

I have no data for the Lee slug. Lyman #4 shows Win 2 3/4 case with Win primers and a 475 grain slug with 28 grains of Unique. The Lee slug is about 380 grains depending on alloy. 30 grains starting seems prudent.

I have quite a few recipes using Unique for 1 oz. slugs. I would just use those as is. 1/8 oz. lighter isn't a lot but would lower pressure a bit. You would also likely have to add a nitro card wad or two, or change wads to set crimp height depending on what 1 oz. slug the data is for.

I may have some for 7/8 oz. in the BPI slug manual or possibly in Reloading for Shotgunners too. I will look and let you know.
