I got a chance to get out and test a load form the Lee 9mm, 125 RN.
125gr RN. PCd. and sized to .357. 3.5gr Tite Group, oal of 1.110. 15 shot avg. velocity 951 fps. I was very happy with the performance. This is a pic of a five shot group from a rest at 20yds shooting at an 2" dot using a red dot sight.
I had shot two similar groups but taped them before I remembered to take a the picture.

I reckon that'll do nicely
Excellent work. Looks like you found your load. The accuracy doesn't get any better than that.
If you need more power for whatever reason, you can bump the powder charge up a little.
You seem to be running very close to predicted velocities from the Hodgdon data site.
