Unique and W231 will do very well. Like has been said w231 is much cleaner

5.6gr of AA2 under 230gr blems from Midway. All of my loaded ammo has large pistol primers but I do have some brass that was given to me that uses small primers.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I am in the process of working up 185XTP loads using both W231 and Unique. Still in the early stages of testing but so far looks promising. Update?

I am in the process of working up 185XTP loads using both W231 and Unique. Still in the early stages of testing but so far looks promising. Update? Still playing, but 6.2 grs of W231 at 25 yds, off a bench, yielded as 7/8" 3 shot group. Pretty happy with that for 65 yr old eyes. At 12 yds it about a 1 1/4" single hole. Currently playing with 230 JHP Zero bullets. Still trying to find the load. Actually looks like Unique may be the best powder for it. But still trying to get W231 to work as well since it meters so much better and is cleaner burning. I am getting some unburnt power with Unique, So I am playing with seating depth.

Scooter get an Apex tactical flatface trigger for your Smith it'll help. Always found 185&200 grainers best for the 50 yard line but if you have a quantity look into aa#5 HS6 Unique.The big 230s like a slower burner than Bullseye 231 Hp38. Why? I've no idea.

I used Universal Clays a lot back in my reloading days for rimless handgun ammo. It was VERY much like Unique but not dirty. My Unique stayed in the bottle most times.
