Miller, I was only replying to your statement that "Unique should not be out of range for reduced...." I do not imply that you recommended specific loads, but you did make some presumptuous statements about the properties of various components, as did I. My main point was that Unique is not the next logical step up in burn rate from 2400 in the Hercules line if Mr. Tinker desires to experiment. The next step in burn rate is Blue Dot and next after that is Herco. Unique is the next step after Herco, and should be a little fast for the .410. At the risk of sounding like I am recommending a specific load, if my light 2400 load showed signs of poor ignition, I would be inclined to substitute (not by any specific weight, but by the recommendation of the powder maker) a light charge of Blue Dot. Again, I will say that, in my experience, I would not expect to have much of a problem with the 2400.
