I quit Unique years ago. Yes, its versatile, as the name implies, but so dirty. IMHO, there are better choices, especially given the scarcity and prices these days.
Went on a prairie dog hunt years ago and had a bunch of mid-range .357s loaded with Unique shooting them out of my old flattop Ruger. Grass was so high we were just driving around in an old Suburban shooting prairie dog targets of opportunity. I was in the back seat behind the driver, who was the ranch owner. I'd shot at a couple out my side window and the smoke was blowing back onto Frank, the driver/rancher. Frank says, "what are you shooting, black powder?"
I've had good luck with AA5 for mid-range loads And its good in .45 ACP as well, although I'm still working through some old stock of 700X in that application.
