One of the aggravating things about Unique is the consistency of the chrges thrown by a powder measure Although I keep my powder measures very cleann and static free, the Unique can vary by .5 grains and when you are up at the upper end, then the margin fro error decreases. I would be very judicious in the use of upper end loads in a gun that scarce. If I haver misunderstood your post about the gun, let us know and we may find that as interesting as the original question. Take care.

P.S. I have a 50 Target in 45 Colt and I hand weigh each charge when I load for that one. No hurry, I want it right and keep it to factory levels.
Sir, not all of us missed it.

Sir, bear in mind that the Smith 1950 Target has a shorter cylinder than a Ruger does. If that means shorter seating of the bullet, permissable loads drop, too. By how much I wouldn't hazard to guess.
Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.
