I recently had a load tested with blue dot.. because ive got a bunch and it was commonly featured in older manuals but with different components. Pressure was in the 7-8K range and fairly consistent. It is not "clean burning" by any stretch, So i stocked up on unique (thanks to some friends) and use it for 5/8 and 3/4. I wouldnt classify the unique as low pressure though, at least in 3/4oz.

Aaron, the 28 gauge is normally loaded to a higher pressure than larger gauges. Unique is a perfectly suitable 28 gauge powder. A slower powder like Blue Dot is about the only way to lower pressures in the 28 with the exception of lowering the shot load. I'm sure you are familiar with "Burning Rate" charts which will help you to select powders.
