9mm 124 grain FMJ loads with Unique

I only made 4 rounds to test at 5.0 grains with 124 grain Hornady FMJ bullets. They worked well and they actually functioned the hold-open of my chromed 1918 all-matching P-08. They fit in the magazine, chambered fine, fired well, worked the action, and the toggle stayed locked upon after the last one. I might keep tinkering with the load but I was quite pleased. I had heard Unique was dirty but wow... Still, now it has a use!

Accuracy was hard to gauge given only 4 rounds and my not having been to the range in 2 and half months but the grouping was okay enough.
