I see you are from the Flagstaff area. Do you know a Ben Conyers that used to ranch North of Flagstaff?

I have a Hulme Case feeder for .38's and 45's, and I don't want one for the .44. I index with my thumb.
Thanks for the offer.

Hi Ken:? Thanks for the post.? I have used 10 grains on speer 240's for some time.? My slide thru 10 grains of the Hercules Unique but it seems to throw around 9.2 grains or so of the new Unique by Alliant.? I read where they cleaned it up from the old formula but the amount you use would be the same as the old Hercules Unique.? In cleaning it up a little I was wondering if the density did not change some to make this slight difference in what my 10 grain slide will meter.?
Have you notice any difference??
I went to the hardware store to see if I could get some fine crocus cloth or similar but they were closed.? I have a 0.3960 cleveland reamer from my machine shop days and if the cloth was fine enough I was going to gently and slowly open up the hole.? I don't have any of my machine tools anymore or I good bore it open enough.?
BTW...that is a lot of Unique to shoot.? :-}? The 10 grain hole miked .4000 BTW.

A friendly Hello to all of you here on the Forum.
I am retired now but I have been a user of a Star Universal since about 1973.
I have not loaded on it for a few years but just this morning set up for .44 Magnums. I have one powder slide for that caliber for 10 grains of Unique. This was the slide for the old Hercules Unique. The new Unique by Alliant Powder is somewhat cleaner burning. The charge thrown with the new powder is about 9.3 or 9.2. I did not settle the powder enough to start getting accurate charges but that appears what it will settle at.
Have any of you experience this difference between the old and new Unique?
