9.5 grs. of Titegroup (manageable but a little snappy)
7.3 grs. of Red Dot (very comfortable to shoot, I liked it the best!)
Haven't tried the Unique yet!

Why don't you buy a 357mag or 44spl instead? I don't understand why somebody buys a 44mag and then only wants to shoot it at sub-44spl levels. Is is just for bragging rights?
Be careful with Titegroup - it hides in the case. And cross-check that 9.5gr load with Hodgdon as that is getting up there.
There are a lot of powders that will work for mid-range loads. Almost anything considered "high-performance" for 45acp/9mm/40S&W is "mid-range" for 44mag. If you glance at Hodgdon's load data you'll see what I mean.
