Does anyone have a recommendation for charge? I really like the Unique powder and I want to load the 125gr cast bullets.

Any imput would be appreciated.

From my old Speer#11.

125gr cast lead, 4.1 to 4.5gr MAX Unique.
I've used this in my CZ75b, but now use Winchester 231 and WSF instead because is meters so much better and no bridging with this small amount.

Look up castboolits.com website for other lead recipies, great bunch over there too..

Be safe!

4.3 to 5.3 for a 121 grain cast in my Lyman pistol and revolver book. The 4 grains won't matter.

Check handloads.com. Good site for info.

I use 4.3 gr for that combo.

I would defianatly do a ladder test just to see which one is best in your 9.

Cheers!

Awesome, thanks I will look at those sites and experiment a bit.

my 9mm likes 5gr of Unique with 125gr .358 bullets
but then again, the bore measures .357 which lessens the pressure.
