I have a cZ 527 in x39. Someone on another board mentioned using a light load of 5gr Unique under a 130gr LRN.

I'd like to do that as well, but I have PB, Green Dot and some 700x. My bullets are the 155gr Lee. Anyone do a plinker work up for their x39's?

Do you mean 7.62 X 39 for the cZ 527
I have the Lee lead book it that has some unique loads for it.
Unique min:8.0 cup: 23500 1552 fps,,, max:10.3 cup : 36,900 1786 fps

Again do you mean 7.62 X 39?
To get the kind of velocities you want your talking too little powder which can be dangerous. You’re going to have to have some kind of filler to keep the powder against the primer.
I don’t know what you want these for but I shoot an Ishapore 308 with a similar load as that and the recoil is around the average 223 bolt action.
As far as PB, Green Dot and some 700x my Lee manual doesn’t list any of them. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
