I'm new here but this looks like a great forum/source for good info.

I've been loading for a couple of months and I've only loaded handgun rounds strictly by published recipes. I want to load some hot 9mm for personal defense using 125gr jhp from Zero Bullets. I was hoping I could get some advice on target velocities. I suppose I just need to know what's feasible and reliable in a 9mm. I plan on working up a few to chronograph this weekend.

My details:
125gr JHP from Zero
CCI 500 primers
Power Pistol powder
4" barrel
1.130" oal (anything longer pinches in my pistol)
