Making my 9mm loads with AA #2 powder and lead bullets gave me very few loads to choose from. Now I'm working up some loads with Unique, and I've got a newbie problem: There are many reference loads to choose from, and they vary widely.
Here are all the reference loads I have for 9mm Luger with and Unique and bullets close to the L-FP 122 I'll be using:
Lyman 46th: L-FP 121, 3.7-4.4
Speer 13th: L-RN 125, 4.1-4.5
Hornady (from Loadbooks): L-RN 124: 4.0-5.0
Lyman (from Loadbooks): L-FP 121, 3.7-4.4
RCBS (from Loadbooks): L-FP 124, 4.7-5.2
Alliant (from Loadbooks): L 125, 6.0
alliantpowder.com: L 125, 5.5
Starting loads vary from 3.7 to 4.1, and max loads vary from 4.4 to an alarming 6.0. What weights of powder would you pick for your workup loads?
