I usually use 8 grains of Unique under a 250/255 grain cast or swaged lead bullet. Or 7 grains of W-W 231.

You can load slightly higher than that, with no problem.

I don't understand why some people think that they are weak. They are capable of handling the first level of handloads for the .45 Colt. Just don't use data intended for the much stronger Ruger.
