Good luck finding Unique. You'll have much much better luck finding Longshot which works well in the 20's and 28's and is cheaper.

I used WIN 540 for a good many years HOWEVER they don’t make it anymore . BUT Hodgdon HS-6 is said to be the same thing and the loads are about the same . I’ve also used Unique .

As to hulls talk to Mr. Steingraber he might be able to help you out with some Remington 28 gauge STS hulls .

13g Unique, 13g Longshot or 14g Longshot are all good charges with 3/4 oz loads in 2 3/4” hulls.
