RK, I'm in the process of loading some 9mm right now and the load I'm using is 6.0 grains of Unique with a 124 grain FMJ bullet. I'm using a 30 (or more) year old Lyman D-7 scale and a .7cc Lee dipper. The dipper will scoop a consistent 5.8 - 5.9 grain load of Unique and that would be an excellent load in a Luger using bullets of either 115 or 124 grain. Unique doesn't meter well but is an exceptional powder for loading 9mm. It's also impossible to drop a double charge as Unique nearly fills the case with one charge.

If you're going for quantity then one of the ball powders and a measure is a better way to go.
