44 loads with unique

[loiner1965]

Ah, but waht was so nice about 577 Snider was that finishing with half-a-dozen rounds of Unique blew away every trace of fouling from the Pyrodex I was using for the other 50 rounds...

Or maybe it was the polenta filling I was using did that?

i do this with the martini henry.
after shooting with bp i then switch to rounds with 37gns of reloder 7 or imr 4198 just to clear its throat

Hi folks,

What are people finding a good way to measure Unique?

My powder thrower is rubbish with it and I struggle to get consistency with Lee Dippers. Any hints?

IIRC I had a Lyman powder measure. I used to tap the micrometer head to its limit of travel three times to fill it to the same level for the 5.8gn. Unique load that I used for tens of thousands of 9mm. loads back in pistol days in the 80s. It seemed to throw mostly within 0.1gn.
