I'm loading my first batch of 9mm's and using Unique as a starting load. 5.8 gr under a 124 gr lead bullet. I've weighed it 4 times, and checked the scale 4 times, and it comes up the same each time. The case seems awfully full, almost to the point of compressing the powder. Is this correct? Should a charge of Unique fill a 9mm Luger case this much?
