Winchester 748 for the 5.56 and Unique for the .41 Special.

I also have H335, 231, and Bullseye available.

Yes I did thanks! They we're mostly talking about 7-8 grains of Unique so I used 7 as a max load. Remember I am working that load to be easy on my grandfathers hands, 92 years old and even the standard .41 Special loads can hurt. He wants a very mild Special load so I am starting at 5 grains and working up from there. I am looking to see if there is much of a point of impact shift so the sights will be as close as possible with no adjustment.
