IIRC the one I saw was offered at $1600, not sure if it was used or new, and that was probably 5 or 6 years ago. Was in a rack and I just inquired w/o handling it.

Yep, but with the introduction of Trailboss powder, there is no reason to load at the load density that Unique gives in the 35Rem or most other similar cartridges.
This is very very important in big straight-walled cases like the 375Win, 38-55, 444Rem, 45-70 and the bigger pistol cartridges like the 500S&W.

I just reread this post and apologize for being vague.
FWIW, if you load most cartridges with too light of a charge of powder [esp. fast burning powders like Unique], some of them have had detonations instead of a controlled powder burn.
This is covered in most loading manuals but may not be common knowledge.
