UNIQUE Powder Help
I have about 3 pounds of UNIQUE Powder I used for 9mm loads. Problem is I shoot a .40 now and don't want to buy new powder! My manuals don't list any .40 loads that will use UNIQUE. HELP!

No need to panic. Unique is OK in .40 S&W. I use 6.5 gr under Magtech 180 gr hardball for my XD-40. You may want to start lower and work up, but not too much lower, say 5.8 and work up.
