I'm trying to work up a light plinking load for the 327 using Unique powder and a 76 grn lead RN bullet from Hunter Supply. All I could find was a load on the web using a 77 grn lead RN bullet and 4.5 grns of Unique, reduce 10% for a starting load. I loaded 5 of these at 4.1 grns. Accuracy was good extraction was good (they just fell out), but the primer seemed awfully flat. Brass was sooty like there wasn't enough pressure to seal the brass to the chamber. Can low pressure cause flattened brass? I liked this load. Recoil was nonexistent. Like maybe a 22. I'm going to try to put a picture on here of the brass.

OK it's official I'm too computer ignorant to post a picture - Use your imagination as to what the brass looks like
