I'm working up a good load for a Beretta 92. I'm using a Lee mold 356-125-2R. Titegroup or HP38 powder. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Have you shot cast from 9mm before? I find 9mm to be the fussiest cast boolit pistol caliber. But when you get it, you've got it. Good lube and sizing, or even .001 to .002 oversize, helps a lot. And don't push 'em too fast. The starting load with either of those two powders should be good.
Don't make a big batch of anything until you've shot a couple magazines full and made sure the barrel isn't getting heavily leaded.
I shoot the Lee 358-125 RF, sized at .358, over 3.1 grains of 700X. It's a pokey load, subsonic, but it reliably cycles every 9mm I've tried it in.
