I will be using VIHT N320 and UNIQUE

I am guessing this is a std 45 ACP. If so start with 5.5gr of Unique and work up to 7gr

Sorry I wasn't clear.
one of my good .45acp loads is 4.5grains WST
Winchester Super Target.
Burns very very clean, the inside of the cases are still shiny

I've had good success with 5.0 grains of Red Dot. Not quite a max load but still fairly stiff.
