So, a friend gave me a full canister of unopened Unique but I've not used it. I'm only reloading using Trail Boss and Bullseye at the moment. I would prefer to save my pound of Bullseye for my Broomhandle given how hard it is to find pistol powders these days.

I have 500 124 grain FMJ Hornady bullets (could not find the FMJFP bullets Sieger recommended, though). I did see Sieger's Bullseye load for this but I'd like to use up this Unique.

I saw DJU's post:

Using 5.4 grains of Unique with 115 grain FMJ bullets. I was pondering starting at 5.0 grains of Unique with 124 and work up by 0.1 grains.

Any thoughts/advice? I'm used to reloading 7.62 Nagant revolver, .455 Webley, and 7.63 Mauser so this is a first foray into 9mm.
