Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Sell that gun and buy colored pencils so that you can draw flowers and spread love.

Or email Accurate Powders and they'll send you a free load data booklet.
2400 is my favorite for magnum handguns.

I use Unique and H110.

Not much range with H110 for experimenting, though. Either you are running it full power, or slightly reduced. There is only like 3 gr. difference between the two, according to the manufacturer.

I need to get some 2400.

I ended up going with a mid-range load using unique and 240g hardcast LSWC. Seems a good starting point.

I like Unique because I can load everything from 9mm to .44 mag with it.

Wonder if you could do 7.62x25 or 300 BLK SS with it? I got out of reloading about 30 years ago and just recently started venturing back in as ammo costs are still retarded.

I've used XX grains of Unique for target loads since the late 60's. H110 in the 44mag.
The Unique mostly in 45ACP loads where it's a warm load.185 to 200 hardcast.
I like sabots also.
