What has worked well for me:
9mm: (All loads shot through a Walther P99c; barrel is 3.5" with traditional rifling - if you've got a longer barrel, you may be able to get similar velocity with less powder)
124 grain Berry's plated round nose over 5.0 grains of Unique, 1.15 OAL, ~130 PF.
124 grain Montana Gold JHP over 4.7 grains of Unique, 1.075 OAL, ~130 PF.
124 grain Montana Gold JHP over 4.1 grains of VV N320, 1.075 OAL, ~128-129 PF.
115 grain Hornady XTP over 5.4 grains of Unique, 1.08 OAL, never chronoed, but was nice and accurate, no pressure signs.
The reason the JHP and XTP loads are so much shorter in OAL is that my P99c has a fairly short chamber, and in order to pass the "plunk" test, they had to be shorter. If you're loading for a Glock or similar, you can probably go longer with those bullets.

10 grains of Unique under a good cast 240-grain SWC.
45 Colt
10 grains of Unique under a good cast 250-grain SWC.
Either should get 1,000-1,100 fps, be powerful enough for deer, and be accurate enough for rabbits. Recoil is fairly mild, too.

This is the Sams Custom Gun load for the 9x19. In my Sams 1911, it shoots into less than one inch for ten shots from the Ransom rest at the fifty-yard line.
1) 115-grain Hornady XTP
2) 4.8 grains of N-340
3) Winchester or Starline brass
4) Remington #5-1/2 small pistol primer
5) OAL is 1.160" in 1911s and 1.120" (no crimp) in Beretta 92-series guns. I load 9x19 long for 1911 pistols to aid in feeding. Perhaps too long based on some feedback from WCR.
Velocity is about 1100 fps.

Missouri Bullet Co. makes a 125 LSWC for 9mm. Loaded at 1.125" over 4.0 grains of titegroup it does about 1100 out of a 4.25" barrel, doesn't seem to lead badly, and groups better than I can shoot out of several guns. As a longtime .45 guy, I take irrational pleasure in crisp holes.
