I don't know how light you want it? 3 grains of Trailboss will be the cleanest burning of the powders you mentioned, and will produce target velocities. Same weight of 231 will work and meter better from a measure, but won't be as clean. Unique will need more like 3.3 grains, is very hard to meter consistently (some measures, like the Lee Perfect, even state directly not to try to use Unique in them), and is the dirtiest burning of the bunch.
