Red Dot seems to work well for ultra light loads.

It would seem your load is to light and more pressure is required for a complete burn.
I use Accurate #5 for 9x19 Luger with 124gr bullets and it works well.
Is it possible the powder has been corrupted by moisture or humidity?

Try putting a tighter crimp on it so it takes a little more time to burn the powder I always put a crimp on all of my hand guns Good Luck I use AA#2 and Win 231
