Gentlemen,
My first post here so be gentle with me please. What with all the rush to buy anything that shoots before our gov tries to take our rights away, I bought a Springfield Armory XD .45 with 4 in barrel. I have previously loaded 357's for my revolver but have not done so in about 30 years. Anyway, now that I have a .45 I'd like to start again but would like to use up some old Unique I have. It's been kept in a cool dry area of our house. It looks, pours, smells fine to me. My question is should I use this up or not? If using this old powder, what would be a good load using cci primers and 230 FMJ. Thanks in advance.
