I use 4.5gr Unique under a 125gr lead round nose or truncated cone bullet.  IIRC that is close to max load, but shoots well in my Ruger P89 which is rated +P.

I cast a 124gr bullet out of a Lee mould, and load 3.9grs of bullseye and a Win sm pistol primer and do quite well out of my CZ 75

Haven't done any bullet casting in years. Now days I buy cast bullets from Missouri Bullet Co. or Black Bullets International. Both 124/125gr. Over 3.8grs of BE in mixed brass. Cheapest loads I can find without casting. Both shoot well enough for minor PF in action pistol sports.
