Yep 6 gr. of the Unique works very well!

I will finish up loading another 50 of the Hornady 230 XTP bullets for .45 Colt and then some for .45 ACP.

No reloading today but I did clean the high wall and the revolver. All guns are clean and ready to go.

Anxious to get more bench time, but so far I've prepped 50 .308 Win cases to try a few ladder loads later in the week. I've been using BLC2, but want to try some RL15, and Varget with a Sierra 165 gr. SP.
Went to the LGS to look over the powder and all they had was some odd stuff. But I picked up two hundred Federal small pistol primers (max per customer). Price: $6.99 per 100. I have several hundred in the cabinet still, but I figured I'd get these since they were available.
