I'm running a little lower than that. I will increase it some next time around. Get the old lady to clean guns you say?Unique powder you should be around 9gr for 200gr bullets and 231 around 7.5gr. Unique is dirty if you load bunny farts same will happen with blue dot if loaded light. The case isnt expanding fully and you're getting bypass back into the chamber. The 250's with HS6 should be more like 11-11.5gr not going to clean up unless you get the case to expand. Maybe just load a batch to mid or mid high and see if the case expands using a caliper to check, along with how dirty it gets vs others. If you want to run reduced loads you're going to end up cleaning more often, just gonna have to teach the ol lady how to clean your gun.........uh I mean rifle.
It's not likely I'm going to have a hogleg in the safe anytime soon. Also, I don't make/keep 100s of rounds on hand of most calibers. The loads I've done are still within the specs for handgun anyway.I had to do this with lever loads vs Ruger only loads when I was shooting them. The older Ruger Blackhawks and vaquero's I had could handle a much hotter load than the Winchester's could. Had some pretty hot 300gr loads for the pistols.
Yeah, I just caught an article about that dirty moly stuff in the last couple days. I'm not sure H110 would be appropriate. My understanding of that powder is it getting loaded with good case fill for magnum handgun with magnum primers. I've taken to using H110 in .357 mag for the Winchester M94 I have. And a 686, M19 revolvers. And one other being .30 Carbine. Which is why I have a good amount of it.tightgroup, H110 i would have to get out my book for others
and after reading about molly coated bullets and what the end result can happen more often then not
i do not shoot them in any gun
