Unique for the powder. 4.5 grns gets me 830 fps, 5 grns (a +p load) gets me 885 fps, in a 4 inch barrel S&W 67. These are for use in 38 Special cases.

I prefer using magnum cases with loads of this type in a 357 Mag revolver. 6 grains of Unique in a magnum case gets me between 1025 and 1080 fps depending on barrel length in a magnum revolver.

6grs of Unique in a 38 special case would work fine for his purposes

Well, the OP wanted to replicate the factory Remington load, which 4.5 to 5 of Unique would do, in my experience. 6 of Unique in 38 Special cases while safe in his 357 revolver, would be fairly high pressure in a 38 revolver if it ever happened to get in one.

A bunch of them have gotten in my K frame .38s.
