I have probably gone through a 55 gallon drum of Unique in various 38 and 357s since I started rolling my own ammo. I use 7.0 and a 158 cast lead SWC. If you want maximum velocity, use 296/H110. FWIW, I just bought a sealed caddy of Hercules mfg. Unique from a shotgunner for $35.00. I gave him another $10 for a pound of Bullseye and a pound of H414. Net cost of $45.00 for 6 pounds of powder. Happy Father's day to all. CB.
