powders for 7.62X25

I'm using Unique with 85 and 90 grain bullets. I've read on some of the boards that other powders might give better velocity with less pressure. What are some of you guys using? Sounds like H110 might be good.

Stick with unique it will give better velocities than the "magnum" powders. In fact i doubt that whoever came up with the h-110 loadings had a chrony because when i tried them my velocities were 100 to 150 fps less than claimed???  I dunno but I can also tell you that 12.0 gr of h110 with a 85gr slug was too weak to cycle my norinco 54-1 Now I use 6.5 gr of unique over a 71gr bullet for a sweet plinkin load at 1550 fps and 6.0 gr for 85 gr bullets wich yields 1500 fps both loads will cycle both my cz52 and my norinco

The Unique is working quite well, they've cleaned it up too. Just like to tinker I guess.

Thanks guys.

best to you and yours...
