I wanted a 950 fps load with a cast 220 gr. SWC (Lyman # 410459) with Unique powder for my model 58 S&W (see avatar) so mailed the question to Guns & Ammo magazine . Elmer Keith replied " try from 7.0 to 8.0 grs. Unique" ... I did and settled on 7.5 grs Unique ...Perfect ! Shot to the fixed sights , I had found my pet load
If you can ever get some ...try it ...

Thanks Elmer , I appreciate the long ago good advice and I'm passing it on !
