Are any CGN'ers using this for 9mm?

I have read a bit online for it and get conflicting statements one source says that it is easier to load with by volume, others says it needs to be loaded by weight. Hogdons site says that a minimum load for a 125 gr LCN is 4.5gr with a O.A.L of 1.125" for a velocity of 1015fps. This is obviously where I am going to start.

Thoughts?
 
My initial thought is that it's a bit slow for such a small case. Might not be ideal, but it'll work.

I use it to load heavy bullets in 10mm, works wonders. But yeah, it meters very unevenly when loading by volume. When using max loads I prefer to weigh every charge. In 9mm, it probably won't make a difference, just make sure you visually inspect the inside of the case after every charge to make sure it didn't throw a light load.
 
Like Cerdan said, it does not meter well. Those big flakes are almost the size of dinner plates! Well... not quite.....;)
 
Not for 9mm....but as others have stated IT works GREAT in 10mm.

Also stated it does not meter well at all....I have found that the RCBS Dandy Little powder thrower does and O.K job. As long as there not MAX loads.

I can push 200gr bullets close to 1300fps out of my 10mms with 800X.
