     OVERALL LENGTH   
     GUN DETAILS   SAA clone. May want to consider using filler ie: Puff-Lon for these mild loads in the spacious 45 Colt case. This load shoots better "powder down".
     OTHER DESCRIPTION  A good economical load. Herco is a little slower than Unique, and it is almost as versatile, as well as cheaper to use in many cartridges. I've used it for over a decade in all my pistol loads.
