I don't like flake, cause I load on a progressive. I like HS-6 and 7.5gr of it behind a 125gr XTP. This is more of a personal protection load that is accurate. It is for +P 38s however. Keep that in mind depending on your gun. I am not into target loads much but this is an accurate load. Also pretty clean compared to Unique.

I have tried 5gr of Unique behind 125gr JHP, which is flake, but consistent loads in a Lee 1000 is tough to get.

But what is funny, is Unique and bullseye is very clean when shooting 40S&W. I guess cause higher pressures compared to that of either my 44mag or 38Special.
