LATELY I HAVE REDISCOVERED UNIQUE IN THE 45 COLT. 9 - 1O grs OF UNIQUE IN 45 COLT BRASS UNDER 250 - 275gr BULLETS, USING NON MAG PRIMERS SHOULD EASILY GET YOU IN THE 900fps - 1,050fps RANGE. I HAVE A 6 INCH FA MODEL 83, IF I WERE YOU I WOULD KEEP IT A 6 INCHER.

The only "blow up" I've ever had was a Ruger New Vaquero with a moderate load of Universal. Always figured it was loader error. Maybe not? I've never used it again.

DAN: ALTHOUGH NOT KNOWING FOR SURE WHAT HAPPENED OR WHY, I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THAT THERE IS A "DETONATION" DANGER WITH UNIVERSAL CLAYS AND I WILL NOT EVER USE IT AGAIN.

"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.
