Those loads are published to keep the pressure up to a range that eliminates bloopers in very light shot loads. There is no reason to publish such loads when faster powders are available, like Red Dot and Green Dot. Not all published loads make sense.

Is unique suitable to some 7/8 oz 1150 +/- loads with reasonable pressures say less than 8k psi?

I've had excellent results with 7/8 oz. loads using 14 grains of Red Dot or 16 grains of Unique with the SG16 wad. Pressure should be around 7000 psi., and velocity around 1200 fps. Both loads burn clean and without any bloopers so far. Some folks are reluctant to use Red Dot, so if you do also, stick with Unique.

I've successfully used Longshot in 3/4oz. loads.

Aaron, Unique is too slow for reliable ignition in 7/8 ounce loads at 1150 fps. Red Dot is a much better choice for reliable ignition.
