Lyman reloading manual shows a starting load of 8.5 grains of unique with a 255 grain, lead bullet. Claimed velocity is 1013. So, with a lighter bullet, that's where I'd start. They show loads going up to 10.2 grains of unique without much increase in velocity.
Somewhere between 8.0 and 8.5 grains to start with a 230 grain, lead bullet. |

Lyman 49 page 391, 255 gr cast data with Unique shows, Start 6.0 for 590 fps Max 8.5 for 846 fps Using data for a heavier bullet will work with odd bullet weights. Stay with the standard loads. Don't be tempted by the High Pressure loads. |
