With a 124-125 lead 9mm bullet, I have used;
Bullseye, Red Dot, Green Dot, w231, CFE pistol, and HS-6 powders.

the OAL went from a short 1.06" to a long 1.16" in my test to
see what my pistols would like.

The bullets were started at a low 916fps with CFE powder and went up to a high of 1173 fps with HS-6 in my C9, 3.5" pistol.

Lead bullets will like almost any powder but you do need to use the correct data for the bullet weight and powder used.

3.8gr of Bullseye in my 3.5" C9 started at 938fps.
A max load pushed the coated lead bullet out at 1115fps.

I did not waist my Unique for these target loads.

Stay safe,
