Have been trying to figue out loads for my nearly complete .35 Remington. Have seen several mentions of 9 or 10 grains of Unique behind a 158 gr. cast .357 pistol bullet. Can anyone confirm or deny this load, I can't find any source listing anything like this. I have 500, 158 RN lead pistol bullets and a lbs. of Unique, neither of which I've got any other plans for and I thought it would be a good way to use them up if it's a safe load.

This website shows Unique loads for 140gr. cast bullets, but not 158 gr. Anyway, it might give you a starting point.

Thanks, must be an older Lyman I checked the new one today and it didn't list anything below 195. Really appreciate it.
