Pops ran Unique in all his 38 special and even mid level .357 mag target stuff.
Remember blasting as a kid, couple hundred rounds and my hands look like ive been in the coal LOL
Those old dead-soft wadcutters smoked to beat hell when goosed by Unique or 231. Until at least 1980 KCPD had an old commercial machine that cranked them out by the 5 gallon bucket. I recall walking in there 2nd week of Academy, seeing those buckets stacked two deep down the long wall and thinking I'd died & gone to Pistol Heaven. We shot thousands of them over the next 18 weeks (they used sped-up PPC as a qualifier) the only catch being your sidearm was inspected daily and there was hell to pay if it wasn't spotless.
They also had a yellow painted plow disc half buried in the berm, 70 yards from the picnic tables. Every Friday we would head over there and take six shots each to see who bought beer at Kelly's after class. Unlike my classmates, I'd spent years shooting rocks, groundhogs a 'yotes with a pistol, further than that. I didn't buy a first round for 18 weeks
