Anyone has a load data that they use in 9mm with the lee 120tc with either unique or hp38?

I have some unique left and 8 pounds of hp38, need to test loads for my 120tc.
OAL is 1.050
sized 358
glock 17

Thanks

I could use the 231 load data from lyman and try 2.9-4.4
I guess I'll try a few around 3.8 and see ?
around 1115 fps at 23 000 cup

What does the reloading manual say?

2.9-4.4
963fps-1264
17000cup to 29600cup

my autodisk gave me a 3.65 grains load. I'll try this load 20 rounds and see how it works.

Take this as you will and work your load to your gun but I load the Lee 356-120-TC with Unique.
I use 4.0 grains of Unique and the boolit seated to 1.060" to work in my pistols, also I tumble lube this boolit in 45-45-10 lube.
It works great for me but your mileage may vary.

I use the TL356-124TC with 4.2 grains of Unique. 1.045" OAL. Not sure exactly how different the 120 is from the 124 grain, so the load and OAL might vary some.
