I know a lot of the guys here have trouble with Unique, but until I came to this site, I never had any idea that
ANYONE ever had trouble with Unique.
I have used almost nothing but Unique in my Dillon 550B since buying it new in 1988 specifically for loading my .45 ACP's, and that is all it has ever loaded. Everything else gets loaded on my old Pacific reloading setup bought new 30 years ago now.
The Pacific powder measure drops charges of Unique like who'dathunkit. No bridging, no hang ups, no problems.
It came with two inserts- one for pistol, and one for rifle. I leave the rifle insert in even for small cased pistol rounds like the .38. It works just fine with loads as light as 2.5 grains of either Unique or 231, so why switch the the one for pistol?
For some unexplained reason, I feel the urge to go cast some bullets
.
