Welcome to the forum...
Which book are you using that doesn't list that combination?
6.0gr to 6.5gr Unique under a 230gr LRN bullet is one of the classic loads. I would start lower and work your way up though.

Since I use Hodgdon Clays from 4.5 to 5.5 grains . . .
Talk about a clean burning .45 ACP, with excellent performance! These are not hunting loads, but perform well in indoor ranges with 185 grain plated-target loads. cliffy

The Lyman 49th Edition does list a 225gr LRN bullet which is close enough for the data to be interchangeable within reason with a 230gr LRN bullet. (Lyman lists a 225gr bullet because that's what their bullet mold is made for) Lyman lists a charge range of 5.5gr to 7.3gr Unique.
My goto .45 Auto load is 5.5gr W231 under any 230gr bullet.

In that case you need to learn to use the on-line data from Alliant Powders, the makers of Unique. They show a load for LRN and FMJ on their web site.
CLICK HERE my good fellow, then bookmark this page for your future enjoyment.
Hope this helps!

Lee manual starts at 5.0 grains Unique for 230gr LRN. I don't remember what the max is because 5.0 grains works so well in my pistols that I only load that charge.
