"I think Unique and 44 Special is a good marriage."
Unique and I divorced years ago. I don't like the stuff at all because of the weight variations driven by the large flakes.

I use Unique in the .44 Special too. I like the Skeeter load. Now I tried loading Unique into a .32 H&R Mag case, and the weight 'variation' was terrible. Had to weigh every single load. Yuck. Needless to say I went to powers like AA#2, AA#5, and True Blue for the little .32. These powders flow like water. Work really well, and suspect would work well for the .32-20!
Funny thing, in .45 Colt I had to hunt for good TB loads. In .44 Special every one of my Trail Boss test loads I marked as accurate with an accurate+ on one particular load. Could be the gun of course. Problem is, I couldn't get to the velocity I wanted with it, so I don't use it for .44 Special. Goto load is back to Unique and True Blue. Truth is is just about every powder I used for tests was good in the .44 Special flattop BH 5 1/2" that I use to test loads!
