According to the Lee Dipper chart Universal and Unique seem to be the same density. (9.1 gms/cc for one, 9.2 for the other) Does that seem to be correct? If so, I will get the same degree of fill with either?

I've tested it. One of those powders (like Universal) that is very close to Unique. I burnt a couple #s of it during testing and general shooting. It meters better. I also got lower Extreme Spreads with it. I liked it. But I have lots of Unique so I use it .What about Alliant BE-86?
I liked 20/28 as well, but I found BE-86 to be more consistent (lower ES) than 20/28 (and Unique and Universal). All metered better than Unique for sure. I consider 20/28, Universal, and BE-86 to be very close to Unique in all the revolver cartridges I tested. As for accuracy, IMHO, they all shot well enough that I couldn't really tell them apart. So since, I have 'lots' of Unique, I will just stick with it. If by chance I am able to use up all my Unique, I'd go with BE-86, at this point, as the replacement powder.I have no Unique. After Universal Clays replaced it ... Now, Alliant 20/28 has replaced the Universal Clays.
Nope... Just as been around for a long time and works well in the 'medium' load arena in about every revolver cartridge you can dream up. A lot of us started with Unique and just stuck with it.if there was anything magical about Unique compared to Universal and other similar powders
