I was shooting 45 ACP in my Taurus revolver that I had on "loan" from them (their warranty department had possesion of the revolver more than I did before I sent it back to the place of purchase for a credit towards a S&W 686). Anyway, after a few rounds of Unique in that revolver it got hard to seat the rounds after 3-4 cylinders worth. Went to 5 grains of 700X and I could shoot (100) rounds before the .45 caliber snake was needed! Burned very clean.
