    I think I'm good for a long time as long as I use the alternatives I have when I don't need Unique. WC244 and BE-86 can cover a lot of bases.

    I understand. I didn't like paying what I paid for what I got last month, but I'm set now.

    A friend just finally found some RL22 that he needed very badly for his .257 Wby...$65 per pound!

    I'm doing something similar with BE-86. There are good data for it by now, but not quite as much as Unique. I believe there is very little that can be done with Unique that cannot also be done with...

    I'll try this. I think the top of the mold is cooler than the bottom. I've dipped the bottom of the mold into the pot, but never the top. I'll give that a try next time.

    I agree, but note that the .327 has a max pressure exactly double that of the .32 H&R at 42,000 psi vs 21,000 psi.

    I have a Lee production pot and a thermometer that I bought from Rotometals. I can keep the lead within a 20 degree range without much work, and about 10 degrees with just a bit of effort.

    I think 50 yards will be what I consider extreme range for my handgun loads, with maybe 80 to 100 yards for .357 and .44 through my lever actions. As per another suggestion here, I just need to...
