I would do yourself 25 rounds. You can't get a good impression from one group, IMO.

Back in pistol days I used to load 11.0 of Unique behind 240 grain bullets, whether JHP or gaschecked Keith type, in my old Ruger Blackhawk. It wasn't the severest load I used, but it was sharp enough not to want heavier if you were firing a few cylinders of 'em. It'd throw bowling pins hard against the backstop, and few of them would survive more than 3 hits or so. Anything more tended to work the action screws loose, even after loctiting them...
I really liked Unique. It worked for me in everything from .32 ACP to .577 Snider.

150 grn gaschecked home cast with 16grns Unique, gives me around 1700 fps and I have hit the target at 200 yards with them, although mostly they have been used for gallery use at much closer range, still giving .223 ME levels though !
(the gas checks are seating below the case neck with this bullet, although I have some K31 cast to try which should seat higher )
