I've been enjoying the heck out of anything from 8-10 grains Unique and Lee 452-255-RF boolits out of a micro-grooved Marlin 1894. Seems like 9 grains is about perfect.
I've tried some Universal but, I don't see any reason to stray from those Unique loads.
There's a Mihec SAA-270 on its way to me, can't wait to get it.
Now that I've finally got all my casting and reloading stuff purchases out of the way I can finally start putting all my "allowance" towards getting that S&W 25-9.
