I used Unique when I first started reloading many moons ago. I thought new-fangled powders had to be better and didn't use it for many years. Of course it has its' adherants, so I thought I would give it a try again. I am amazed that shooters have had a powder this great for 100 years. I will always have a soft spot for this enduring product that is supremely versatile.

Shooters complain about it being dirty or difficult to meter, but when you have been at the top of the heap for so long, you will take some cuts. It is clean enough and meters good enough. In some cartridges and pressures it as clean as anything. The accuracy is why people love it.

Don't consider it a lead bullet powder for classic cartridges. It works great for jacketed bullets in modern chamberings. I took the Nosler manual advice for an indicated accurate load for 10MM. It is clean and extremly accurate in this cartridge.
