8.0 grains of Unique with any 200-230 grain cast or jacketed bullet gets 925-975 fps from a 4" barrel. It is also one hole accurate....

Besides the Taurus, the Freedom Arms 97 will not take Keith bullets crimped in the proper groove.

Another favorite combination for a mid-range load is 12-13 grains of SR4756. This gives 1250+- fps depending on the bullet used.

For full power loads H110 is the one for me. Just fill the case till the bullet just sits on top of the powder so it won't move and crimp heavily in place. Works with everything from the 170 Sierra JHC to the 300 grain SSK and LBT designs.

1980 vintage M57. Target is 6 shots offhand DA at 25 yards with a hardcast Keith SWC/8.0 Unique that weighed 211 grains from Linotype metal. The one outside the group was the 4th shot and was my fault not the guns.



1999 Mountain Gun. Target shot at 50' DA. Blank silhouette target. The one outside the group was the first round and the aiming point for the other 5. Berry's plated 210/8.0 Unique.



657 6". 6 rounds SA sitting at 50 yards. 300 grain LBT/19.0 H110. The first round went just over the plate with a center hold. Dropped down to a 6 0'clock hold for the next 5.



Three different 300 grain .41s....



657 6". 6 rounds DA offhand at 20 yards. 230 Leadhead Bullet Co. Keith/8.0 Unique...(target says 9.0 but it was 8)
