Good recipe for Unique with 9mm 124gr RN Plated in Para P18.9

[Para_au]

I am looking for some suggestions for a nice load to shoot in my Para P18.9.
I have 9mm 124gr RN plated with Unique. Want some thing accurate as well as maybe reaching 1050 to 1100 fps.

From what information I've been able to attain I was thinking of about 5.0gr of Unique and 1.15 OAL.

Is this a good starting load or should I start a bit lower with the Powder?

Also what would you say is a cleaner powder Unique or Universal?

Also does anyone know where else I can find some reliable loading data on the web for Unique as their website only lists a Speer Projectile.

Greetings,

I shoot 125 gr Hard cast lead with 5.1 grains of Unique in my 18.9 Para.
I also shoot 115 grains (don't recall the powder charge) with Unique in the same gun and it works fine too.

Most of the "dirtiness" will be cause by the bullet lube if you use hard cast lead. For a cleaner powder, check the AA #2 over Unique or Universal. Ramshot powder is pretty clean too in my book.

Thank you
