I use Unique or 2400 with my .357 Marlin 1894 C & S&W 627PC.
With Unique I use 158 grain JSP, 7.8 grains powder, 1.590" OAL and magnum primers.
With 2400, I either load 158 grain Rainier PFP using 12.6 grains, 1.595" OAL and standard primers; or, 13.3 grains of 2400 with 158 grain JSP, 1.600" OAL, magnum primers.
These work fine for me. As others suggested, I too suggest going to the Alliant web page and looking up the load data there. Starting 10% below the maximum list is recommended, as I recall
