I can't say I would want to try that with 36gr of Unique. I went to the Loading room and cooked up some 230gr FMJ over 34gr H-110, 230gr HP over 34gr H-110 as well as both of thoes bullets over 36gr of H-110 and 34gr of 2400. Nice thing about living where I can walk out the door and shoot it faster ballistic testing, ;D. It's windy, cold and cloudy so I didn't bother with the chronograph today. They all feal good and no signs of pressure. I did notice the 36gr of h-110 with either bullet left me some black speckels in the snow. I might be ab;e to go a tad over 34gr but losing powder out the end of the barrel is pointless.
