Yeah, 5.5 gr of Unique will give you a pleasant .357 "moderate" load with that 158 gr cast bullet.

4.5 gr of Unique in the .38 Spl case will give you a nice, low recoil, plinking load in your 686.

BTW, I shoot a good deal of LWC in my .357's and favor Unique with those lead bullets. It smells funny, and is a little smokey, it gives me very good accuracy and the fouling cleans up easy with Hoppes #9.
