What gun? - important.

With 110 grainers I've gone as much as 9.3gr of Unique at 1.575 OAL without any over-pressure signs.

S&W 686 4in, Vaquero 4in and 686 6in

[dbbspider]

110 gr JHP

8.5 grains of Unique

CCI 550 mag primer

1.590" OAL


I got this receipe from Lyman Reloading Handbook

Nice, Thx!

Ouch!

100gr bullets are known as sandblasters in magnum loadings. They do make
a nicer "crack" when fired versus the "boom" from the slower powders and
heavier bullets.

I wouldn't recommend a steady diet of those.

Been a while, but I recall 8~9g W231. Look it up to verify.

All kinds of fury and a fast burn.

110gr, .357, Unique, lists 8.5-9.5gr in my Speer reloading manual.
I wouldn't run the 9.5 charge in a Colt or S&W. Not very many of them, anyway.

1.575 COL
CCI 500
Unique 9.7 gns
1,447 fps

Have fun!
