The Lee Handbook lists a light 9mm load consisting of 8.8g IMR4227 with 115g JRN with an OAL of 1.10. 4227 is generally seen as far too slow for a 9.
I loaded some of these at 8.9g with Winchester mag primers and found them to be tack driver type loads out of a LC9. Very light recoil, exceptionally accurate and fun to shoot out of a micro pistol. Nice smell too - like a Garand.
Same session we shot a bunch of 115g JRN with 6.1g Power Pistol with Remington 1 1/2 primers. Alliant lists 6.7g as max for this powder. These things kicked harder and boomed louder than Speer Gold Dot +P 124g. Massive muzzle flash too. Accuracy about the same as the Speer, but that little 9 sounded like a hot 40 with these handloads. A definite attention getter.
