Seems he was asking H110 or Unique, no?

I have H110 but have never much cared for it, yes it's for top end loads. But there generally is a small separation between minimum and maximum loads. Unique much wider from low to high.
Unique has been the go to powder for 45colt since just about forever. I use it for a bunch of big bore calibers.

Stay with the unique.


And if you want to try 255gr KT's or 280gr SAA's, let me know.

I just converted 80 pounds of raw WW into ingots. Still got about 300 pounds left to spin.

Yeah, but he might get to a gun store one day.


We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

If the good LT or anyone else does get to a gun store and wants to try something new, Ramshot True Blue has proven to be very good in intermediate loads in three different chamberings.

7.0 grains under a 158 gr. cast in the .357 Magnum, 9.0 grains under a 200 grain RNFP in the .44 Spl. and 11.0 grains under a 255 grain cast bullet in the .45 Colt. All produce velocities in the 1000 fps range at those bullet weights and charge levels, are clean burning and the fine ball powder meters like water.

These are all moderate loads so one can juggle the bullet weights a bit and still stay safe, maybe drop a grain or two to start if using heavier bullets.

Plus if you have a 9mm it is great for full power loads in that.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

Thanks, if I see some on the shelf I'll give it a try.
