I must have loaded a ton of 9MM with 6 grains of Unique and 124/125 grain bullets. Not a light wimp load at all, always chronographed at 1200+ FPS for me. I test my guns over a rest at 25 yards too.
Yes, that is the old Stephen Camp Pet Load (The HighPowerAndHandguns writer/Ex Cop). I've loaded this for decades, and it is liked by every 9mm handgun I have. (Note: This is slightly over Max in some newer reloading manuals. Use with caution, and work up.) The Power Pistol load is my secondary standard load, when I'm out of Unique. Both of the lots of handloads in this test were reloaded back in 2005...so they have a decent shelf life.
I'm planning on working up a BE-86 load for this pistol, since it showed great promise in my 9mm Kimber 1911.
