9.5 to10 grains of Unique works well with a cast 150gr. Comes out around 1400-1500fps

w/o gascheck, tumble lubed, and unsized..... 7.5gr Unique; accurate and 1,300fps; wonderful "coffee-can" load....

Personally, I have always shot Speer 150 grain Flat Nose over 33 to 35 grains of Win 748.  So cast is going to be new to me too!
