Anybody got experience loading with this combination? I have a good idea where to start but didn't realize the spread between min. and max. were so far apart. Obviously any information gotten from here will be cross checked and I will start 10% below any loads and work up to them.
I am going to get my dies set up and deprime/ resize/ reprime while I wait to see if I get any responses.
Thanks,
Rob
Well where do you want to go? Unique is a good choice for max loads w/ the 185gr bullet but for lower vel, you want a bit faster powder for best results.
I just want target loads using these bullets. They came with the Dillon. I have enough money into 9mm and 10mm right now. I also need to know if the damn cases with SP's in them affect the load data.

Depending on which LP SP primers you use, you can expect to lose 20-30 or so FPS with SP. It makes sense...the SP have less primer compound in them, so they contribute less to the gas pressure.
I'll pull the test loads I have worked up and start over. Not a big deal. I'll start at 6.2gr and maybe work up to 6.5gr and see what happens. That should give me a good target load. This is why I never load more than ten test rounds when I start.
I use a lot of this in about everything pistol I shoot/load for, old guy, started with UniqueLOL
The new stuff is a lot cleaner than what we old guys started with.
5.8 to 6.2 should give you a good decent load with 185 grainers with a good solid crimp.

Problem i syou can not get a "good solid crimp" taper crimping the 45acp. Unique will run @ low pressures, but just doesn't burn well there; unbruned powder & huge vel spreads. I would not go below 6gr, if you want less vel, drop to a faster powder like W231.
I use this combo myself, with a LOT of Unique, too much to list here. A really snappy round!!
