Jpwright, not to highjack the thread too much, but I just started loading some 230 grain Golden sabers. Used 6.0 grains of Unique (to get my unique used up) and COAL of 1.266-1.275.
Any tips you might have?

Mstarn,
Thank you very much for your post on the Bullseye thread. I couldn't get info on the COAL for the 230 grain GS. I foolishly loaded my first 150 handloads to 1.266 to 1.275 in. like I had been loading 230 grain RN.
They fed my Kimber 5" and Ruger ok but I had trouble packing them into the magazines!
Now I know 1.235 is more appropriate.
I also picked up some Bullseye at the range today.
By the way, I had picked up the Golden sabers on sale at Midway or Natchez for about $46 for 500. I don't think many shooters use the 230 grain rather than the 185 grain.
