I have used 7.5 grains of AA #5 in a 223, for 1800 FPS. Makes a sort of super 22 Mag round.

It's not directly responsive to your question, but I'd want to be sure that I used something that lights easily and uniformly. I don't know how Unique is in that sense, but TiteGroup does claim to overcome the problems often associated with small charges rattling around loose in the case.


Be not weary in well doing.
