Lately I have been loading 81/2grs of Unique in my 44Mag. and my 45Colts.I am using 250 gr. swc`s in the 44 and 265sin the 45s.They both shoot great and are not tiring at all.This gives me one setting on my old Lyman55 which I don`t have to change.The 45 is getting about 850 and the 44 about a 1000fps.I keep some heavy loads in reserve but for every day shooting the above load suits me fine.
