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.

Bill, That may be so, however I was operating under the assumption that unique is similar to universal which is apparently viable (but i dont have any of this powder). I recently asked tom armburst what the best substitute for 7625 was and he said universal, apparently there is a reloading article to that effect in a current issue of double gun journal.

Check out the loads for Clay Dot. I use it exclusively for clays and hunting. Never had a problem of any kind whether in the heat or cold.
