12.8 grains of Unique with a Speer 200 grain JHP cycled the DE. I have not chronographed any Unique loads. I'm working on working up one. Less had problems with reliable feed of next round.
Excellent . . . thanks. I'm curious about the velocities shown for loads of 19.3gr upwards, though; is each an average over a series of shots, or just an individual measurement for that load? While the spread isn't great, it seems a bit unpredictable.

I'll hoping to produce a load for 1300 fps when all is said and done, but I'll still be starting at 17.5gr and stopping when I get close to what I'm looking for.
