125 JHP loads
125 JHP loads
All this talk about loads lately has prompted me to try 8 grains of Unique with 125 gr JHP bullets. This will be 1.5 lower than the max according to Alliant but we’ll see how they work as a ‘medium’ load.

Re: 125 JHP loads
I load a lot of Hodgdon Universal, and I've heard it's similar to Unique. 7.5 grains gives me close to 1500 fps from my 16.5 inch barrel. XTPs really do a number on water jugs at that velocity.

Re: 125 JHP loads
Unique .357 loading data... I've used 9 grains under ZERO 125 JHPs with good success in both my 5.5" SA revolver and my Henry BBB.

Re: 125 JHP loads
Probably going to shift to 125 gr PFP bullets so I'll stick with 8 grains. Mostly I just want to see how 125s shoot out of my BBB.
