Thanks for the thoughts. I have some info on bullseye and unique already. Yes, Alliant used to be hercules. I bought some of the Power Pistol to use in my 38 wad cutter loads to increase the load density in the case. Thought I'd try it in my 9mm too but cant find loads for Power Pistol with my usual 122 gr. cast bullet.

I have a load for 125gr lead round nose with power pistol. Thought about trying the low end powder charge listed but since the 9mm is a high pressure case already I was a little reluctant to go experimenting.

The load for the 125gr bullet is a low velocity target load under 1000 fps. Anyone have any thoughts on whether this would be safe to try with a 122gr bullet?

Thanks for any thoughts!
