Thanks, Charlie98, that's exactly what I plan to do. I'm also experimenting with Hornady 250gr XTP since 8.0 gr of Unique gave me a group I need to repeat. In that regard I checked Lyman's 50th Anniversary book and found Acc#5, 10.0gr gave 777ps and was the most accurate in the list.
Since velocity is the only guide I have in this respect, I figured I'd use Unique and 2400 (because I have them) at the same velocity to see how close I come to accuracy. Unique 7.8gr = 755 fps and 2400 14.8gr = 755 fps.
Although I know the weight of the charge and velocity are not linear, I made a simple ratio anyway and found Unique 8.0gr might increase velocity to about 774fps and 15.2gr of 2400 might give me 775fps. If I have time I can chronograph them to see how close this really is, especially if either or both are accurate.
That's what I find is fun about reloading, especially if you don't blow yourself up.
PS: Thanks, Hammerhead for the Alox prep advice. I'll give it a try.
