Unique 45acp 230gn cast load?

[Joe-n-TX]

Hey guys, my first time to load .45 cast pumpkin ball(just so damn cheap). It has a brinell of 18.

My question is for those who use unique what is a good load to keep my barrel from leading? I have 8lbs of unique so I don't want to hear about other powders. I dont have a chrono right now so I'd like few experienced recommendations.

Edited to add.... I know that Alliant calls for 5.8gns. I'd like to know if anyone has experienced any leading issues and with what weights.


Thanks!

I shoot 5.4 grains, put me right around 830 FPS to equate ball.
