Ah... tried to reply to this earlier when it seems that FR took a holiday. :-)

Yes, regrettably the swords have to stay home. I suppose that would make for some trouble at the airport. Though... gimme a cutlass on an airplane, and ain’t nobody hijacking it. :-)

158gr SWC: Yes, sir. Loaded thousands of those. My powder of choice was Winchester 231, but I’ve got no quibble with Unique. I used some of that too, but I got a good deal on a 10 lb can of 231 once... and it took years to burn it up. :-)

Evening - 10 lbs of powder, yup, I reckon that would take a heap of shooting and reloading to dispose in the proper manner. W231 is the one I’d try if I was to change powders from Unique. I have heard it’s cleaner burning than Unique.

I’m not sure what powder G’nad uses in his reloading for his sidearms.
