Nicoli7153 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Looking for a load suggestion for .40 165gr Berry using Unique. Not competing just looking for a suggestion for components I have on hand. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItZallGooD Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I can't help out to much with the 165, but the I run 5.3 grs of Unique and a 180 plated bullet. I have loaded 165's with Power Pistol and Blue dot. The Power Pistol was noisy and flashy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKT1106 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Alliant's website shows a max charge of 7.2gr of Unique for a 165gr Speer Gold Dot HP loaded to 1.12" Out of their 4" test barrel, they show 1064fps for that charge. I would start at 6.5gr with the same length with a 165gr plated and see what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwalter Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I use 5.5 grains of Unique with 165 grain Xtremes with very good results out of my Glock 35. LIttle dirty but minimal recoil and very good accuracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkvibe Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I have chrono data for unique and 165gr plated rainier tc bullets. I think it was shot out of an XD subcompact. What gun are you shooting it from? It's in my notebook on my bench. I can post it tomorrow evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdbyrne79 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'd like to see that data if you don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakeye Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I run 7.0 of Unique with 165 gr Extreme FPs at 1.120 with great results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerko Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I've found Alliant website data more on the high side. Given I don't exactly ue bullets they quote , but I usuaally run 15-20% less , at least until I establish load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvibe Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'd like to see that data if you don't mind. I totally spaced and forgot to look in my book to see if I could find it. I will check tonight if I remember. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvibe Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I looked everywhere for my chrono data and can't find it. Had to have been on my computer and I must have lost it when I got a new computer. Probably missed backing it up. I can say that I settled on rainier 165gr TC, 1.130" OAL, 5.5gr Unique, CCI spp. That was for a target load for defensive pistol classes. I have no clue what the velocity was, just that it ran the gun, wasn't too hot and shot accurate enough out of my XD subcompact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDean Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I've used 6 grains of Unique under a 165 grain RMR with an OAL of 1.128" sparked with a CCI 500. Ran great in my Glock 35 and 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy0313 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Here's some data from today's testing: Pistol: Glock 35 Temp: 103F Load: 165 Grain BBI C.O.A.L. 1.125 Remington 5 1/2 primer Winchester cases Charge. Avg Vel. SD. XD. PF 5.2. 973. 25.4. 45. 160 5.4. 1025. 21.2. 34. 169 5.6. 1047. 15.9. 28. 173 5.8. 1072. 12.7. 24. 177 6.0. 1108. 23.9. 50. 183 Each string was 10 rounds. The last string had one high round that threw off the numbers. Overall, the lighter charges didn't burn as effficiently as the heavier loads and it shows in the SD shrinking as charge increases.

bret Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I have been using Unique in my STI Edge. 40 S&W. 5.2 to 6.0 grains with 165 grain xtreme plated bullets. Seems to be quite a bit of flame coming out of the barrel, I tried a little more crimp,still about the same. I use 5.6 grains with 180 grain FMJ.

zipper046 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) 5.3 - 5.5 grains UNIQUE under a Berry's 180gr plated FP at 1.135" OAL. Runs great in my G35 and EXTREMELY ACCURATE out of my Para P16-40 (1" - 1.25" at 15 -17 yards)....Oh, and makes MAJOR....
