I've gone as low as 6.8 gr of Unique with a 200 gr. LRN. I call it my fart/cowboy action load. No problem at all, equal to a nice mild 44 spec. load. 7.5- 8.5 gr is a nice mid-range; I wouldn't go more than 10 gr because of possible leading issues. My "normal" hunting load is 11.8 gr. Unique under a Hornady 240 XTP. When I want things hotter than that, 24gr of H-110 under the 240 XTP.
