Ignorance is indeed bliss, Papa G.Sixty years of loading and shooting Unique and I never realized the problems I must have been having. Guess I will stay ignorant and happy.
A late buddy started some of this trouble; we split the price of an Ohler chronograp, 35 years ago.
Such is not my experience; a buddy had a 6gr U'que/115 9mm load that is a real heller; my results were all over the landscape. You probably don't want to fire that load in a P38; no need to ask how I know this.
Sad thing, really love the burn rate.
Did a quick check of %age of case filled with 10-something of #5, and 8-something of U'que, and the Unique actually filled the case pretty well; not much space between powder and bullet bottom, which really surprises me, considering past position problems. Too, Dillon has upgraded their powder measure; it now has a built in 'bump' when the powder measure shuttles. I think I did experiment with both the large and small bars previously.
Anyway, headed to a local shop for primers tomorrow, at a not too usurious price (1k @ $74), so I'll check on U'que while I'm at it.
Thanks, gang.
