Thanks, I feel a lot better about this now. The load data I have says minimum 6gr unique and max is 7.5gr with a 250gr rnfp lead bullet. I did plan to start with 6.5gr so I got out the scale and measured 6.5gr. I poured it into a 9mm luger case to see how much volume it takes and it was a couple mm below the top. So I measured again and poured it into a 380 auto case and found it to be a perfect fit. I dipped the 380 case in the unique a couple of times and checked the gr weight again - right on 6.5 to 6.6gr. Now I need to make a dipper out of the 380 case and start making some cowboy loads.
