[QUOTE="warboar21, post: 2540059, member: 88146"] If you have Unique you can use the standard load of 8gr and a 250/255cast lead bullet. With a bang stick and no barrel I can't imagine velocity would be high enough to over penetrate. You could also use a 200gr cast bullet with the same charge weight of Unique. I recommend a cast lead bullet if you're going to reduce the charge weight in a handgun or rifle. Unique is a very forgiving powder and I've used it in everything from .380 up to and including 45-70 with cast and jacketed bullets. I loaded the 45-70 with 12gr of unique and a 325gr .452" bullet paper patched to .458" for my son when he was younger and a little more recoil sensitive. The powder is not position sensitive and does not require any filler. [/QUOTE]
