Assumimg they are seated to the same inside depth and are the same weight. Some in this thread are talking about other types and weight bullets, also.
I agree that 5 grains Unique and DEWC in 38 special cases is a load used by many with no issues. I like 3.5 for light revolvers and target shooting/plinking. However, I do have hotter loads using Unique.
