221 Fireball with Unique powder?

[lanche5]

Has anyone used Unique powder in reloading 221 Fireball handgun load? I have look in Sierra and Lee reloading manuals and have not found any load for this powder in 221. With the new Unique burning cleaner, I thing this would be a nice powder to use.

Lyman #49 lists one .221 Fireball reduced load using Unique & a cast lead bullet.

Using it with jacketed bullets is probably not going to get you anywhere close to it's full performance level.
It just is too fast a powder for that.

I have tried a lot of different powders in my CZ 221 Fireball and have found none better than 2400.
