Re: 9mm recipe
Load data doesn't list that weight but does list 125 gr jacketed starting at 4.5gr to 5.0gr MAX. I have found that most plated bullets are okay with bottom end jacketed loads. YMMV The same source also shows a 120gr cast at 4.0 to 5.0 of Unique. Those come from the Lyman manuals, a good investment.

Re: 9mm recipe
I suggest a better powder than Unique. My plated pet load is loaded long with a little extra Bullseye.

I use seating depth to adjust for bullet profile differences for bullets of the same weight and composition. This is important for small high pressure calibres like the 9mm. As long as the seating depth is the same, assuming you are not jamming into rifling, pressures should be the same.

Re: 9mm recipe
The few plated bullets I tried (about 1,000 various calibers) were all reloaded with lead bullet data. Most I started with lead starting data and worked up to lower-mid jacketed levels. I got this info from the bullet manufacturer...
Personally I found no benefit from plated bullets; if I needed high velocity, as in a SD load, I'd just load jacketed bullets. My cast lead bullets were a bit more accurate and didn't lead my guns...
