John,
If you happen to run across either article, please drop me a line. Don't make a special search, though - it's not a difficult undertaking (and there's a local gunstore that specializes in all matters shotgunning anyway - if it can be done with a shotgun, they know how to do it).
As you wrote, most of my Unique is burned in pistols, although it's also an ingredient in cast-bullet small game/recreational loads for some of the centerfire rifles. I've used it in the past in 12 and 20 gauge reloads as well - frequent moves over the course of my former career led me to generalize things like powder selection back then.
Hehe - you're right about those calibers and factory loads. I think I shot a box of factory 45 Colt once... heck, I don't even use factory bullets in that one. Ditto for my wife's 44 Special Target Bulldog - a nasty beastie with almost anything effective - that one was a challenge. She won't switch to anything else, though... OTOH, there's almost no reason these days to reload 45 ACP - my kids are gonna inherit a ton of brass for that. Wasn't all that long ago that you could purchase anything you wanted as long as it was either 230gr ball at ~830 fps or match swc 185/190.
As for the Dillon - all kidding aside, I don't know if my "rituals" with Rockchucker and Jr. would be easy to set aside in order to develop new rote steps... two of the boys are thinking about local competition shooting this year, though, so we'll see.
Let's drop this discussion for now - I wandered it off the thread and it must be boring and/or alarming to some of our aquaintances here <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. Nice to see you back on the forum.
Tom
