Interesting Powder for 9mm Luger

>I imagine these loads that Speer recommends for the 9mm Luger cartridge would be scary, and bone jarring, too...

Why? Cartridge can't generate enough recoil to be jarring. Powder is not going to be jarring.
I found that Blue Dot is a great powder for max velocity in 9x19. I couldn't even get enough powder in the case for bullets less than 115gn to reach max pressure.
Only problem I had was putting my finger on the case mouth as the shell plate rotates as the charge filled the cases. Compressed loads are no problem.
