30-30 powders

[Ojaileveraction]

I did some exploring of low pressure loads recently. Unique is not position sensitive so wadding was not needed. with a 170 grain cast lead bullet 10 grains may be close to a max load for that fast powder.
Biggest issue for me is the possibility of a catastrophic double charge.
Theoretical velocity for 10 grains is 1400-1500fps. A pretty good plinking round

Sorry, but I have to disagree about Unique bring position sensitive. 10r is so little powder that you'll need to elevate the barrel to get it ll down to the primer. Or, use wadding. AND, you still run the risk of a double charge - and 20gr of unique is a dangerous load. Theoretically a dangerous load.

I'd suggest 26.5gr of 3031 or 30gr Varget. Can't double charge with these loads.

Yes BD I agree. I have since had more expirience with Unique and have specificly tested it for position sensitivity, elevating the barrel and shooting , then lowering the barrel and shooting and I saw differences.
