I concur, Unique and the .38 SPL is like America and apple pie. It may not provide the fastest velocities in this cartridge as other powders do. However IMHO it has no equal across the entire spectrum of bullets that are suitable for the .38 SPL. It covers standard as well as +P loadings very well with either jacketed or cast bullets.
I'm Glad to hear that 5.0gr worked for well for you. I found that my particular M10 didn't take a shine to that charge weight at all much to my dismay. But it does very very well with 4.3gr, 4.6, 5.3gr and 5.4gr under a 158gr bullet. I stick with 4.6gr and up as I find it cleaner burning than the 4.3gr loading.
