Lack of 9mm lead load data

[Ditchdigger]

Please point me in the right direction. Specifically, I'd like to find a load using Unique, Power pistol, or Autocomp that will make IDPA power factor with accuracy. I've looked online on Alliant's website, no lead data. I have the Lyman 49th and Hornady's latest. Lyman has 2, 120 grain loads and that maybe where I start. I'd just like more info to compare and cross check.

If this makes any sense, your ideas and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

P.s. I'm using 124 grain ACME coated bullets.

If you want warm load data for the 9mm with lead or jacketed bullets
and ballistics from real guns, not test barrels, research back issues of
Handloader magazine.

Contact the powder maker, they've never let me down.

Agree with shotgun693, bullet makers are alsoa wealth of knowledge. Personally, I prefer bullseye and winchester super field for 9mm especially lead. Good luck and work up your loads carefully.
