Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers Unique for cast bullets in toggle link actions

Everyone seems to have their opinion on the best powder for specific chamberings used in toggle link actons. After trying a handful of newer offerings for my 45 Colt I find myself back to good ole "Unique" for the 1866 Uberti Yellow Boy,....6.5 grs of Unique launching this 300 gr cast yields a consistent 1040 fps with no pressure signs and very good accuracy as long as my aging peepers cooperate.No fouling,leading, un-burned powder residue or even " blow back sooty cases" as are so many complaints with the Colt chambering not sealing well..My SOP for this load is a big bullet,good tight crimp and safely not going whimpy on the charge.

Universal may be a close second........
