Lyman "Handbook of Cast Bullets, 3rd Edition" has no Unique loads for 358429. Second Edition shows 5.5/7.5 Unique. Other earlier Lyman books show only max. of 7.0 gr Unique.

Hercules has no 173 gr. data, but goes to 7.1 for 160 gr. LSWC. Depending on your mould and alloy the 358429 can vary from ca. 160 to 175 gr. Mine usually ranges from 165-168 gr.
