Unique is one of the truly great pistol powders. Yes, it is a bit smudgy, but it burns completely so you don't have a bunch of flakes working down into the action. It is extremely versatile. I have loaded

In 45 Colt- 8.0 gr behind a 250 gr for plinking, more for hotrod rounds.
In 45 ACP- 7.7 gr behind a 185 JHP, 6.4 gr behind a 230 gr FMC
In 44 Mag- 11.0 behind a 240 gr (hot), 7.0 gr behind a 240 gr cast.
In 357- 7.7 gr behind a 158 gr JFP for target, more for hotrod rounds.
In 9mm P- 5.5 gr behind a 125 FMJ
In 38 Special- 4.8 gr behind a 158 gr cast

Generally, I use Blue Dot for full house magnum loads in 357 and 44 Mag.
