Good load for what? Punching paper or other?

You’ve got to ask your self a question: Are you feeling lucky: well do you reloader?

My general use load for 44 magnum with 240 grain cast lead bullets is 8 grains of Unique, used it for over 40 years. Consider yourself lucky if you have some Unique, it's not as common as it used to be.

I was looking for a pound of powder last week and came across a full jug of unique. I forgot all about it and was all giddy and warm inside after my discovery.

I can't imagine that I'd enjoy a 255 grain load for target... Mostly for the imaginary bears in NW Indiana. Or real ones , if I ever move west.

Luck has nothing to do with it. I remember the fiasco of looking for powder and ammo during Obama years... When I found some during Trump, I bought it. It's a very versatile powder. I can load all my handguns and some of my rifles (with gas checks) with it. It's not the best for magnum loads.

250 Gr lead is what I shoot for practice and if I'm not mistaken 8 GR of Unique..
