I keep forgetting to mention one of what I consider to be one of THE most important things about Unique in pistol cartridges. It does not seem to follow with bottleneck rifle cartridges, but I CRIMP the cases.
I've messed with this quite a bit, and even in a single-shot rifle, where there is otherwise no need to crimp, I crimp. If I don't crimp, I get poor accuracy and poor efficiency in burning of the powder. I will go as far as to say - especially with lighter charges.
Nothing extreme, either light or heavy, just a moderate crimp.
