CHUCK SAID: f you are going to use hand loads then I believe it is best for that person to do it themselves and to never trust anyone else to do it. If you don't pay attention to what you are doing and screw up then it is your own fault and you will suffer the consequences of it.


So.......hand loads are sort of like parachutes, then? piper

Whew sorry guys, between a brief sickness I am just getting over and the flood of work at work I am just now getting back on the board.

My Unique load that I also use in addition to my trailboss load (for a little warmer loads) is as follows.

Starline 45 colt brass
CCI large pistol primer
9.0 grains of Unique powder. (Note this is not the max load listed, but it is what I get the most accurate rounds from)
250 grain RNFP lead (I used to lean towards laser cast. I now use http://www.tennesseevalleybullets.com/ their 250 grain cast rnfp. the folks at TVB will sell you samples for handloading if you want to just TRY some of their bullets. With their prices being as cheap as they are, and their quality being high I like them alot, and they are good folks)

Anyway I have a few other loads, but peeking at them some of them are very close to the max load for a ruger, and I don't really want to post them for safety sake, and I don't use them anymore anyway.

Enjoy, always use good handloading practices, and be safe

No problem, enjoy the loads, and good shooting. Remember the Unique load has been tested for rugers, marlins, rossi stainless model 92s, etc. If you are shooting anything else be SURE to check the min/man for nonruger firearms. The trailboss load should be safe for anything per IMR.
