I've got lightning bolts and I have +P's, but what I needed today was a mid range magnum for my new to me K frames.

I thought about W231 and IMR 4227, but when I looked at my powder stash, Unique jumped out at me.

Consulting the books, I saw that the range of 6 ~ 8.4g would go from 900 ~ 1300fps, so I settled on 7g to push a 160g 358156 w/o the gas check somewhere in the 1100fps area.

What do you think of that load?

I have some 358156's that are loaded with 15.5g W296 that I will bring, but I'm not certain I'll use them in the K frame. They're good in the 586, and I'm toying with the idea of a round or two in my 65 to see where they land according to the fixed sights.

I'm also going to try some 358156's that I loaded into magnum cases over 5g W231 since they are +p 38 equivalents and should be fun to shoot in a 3" K frame.

Lemme know what you think of the 7g Unique load.
