Good load for shooting in Lugers.

I shoot the TNJ (total nylon jacket) often including in my luger. It is a great round I have over 5k rounds stocked up. Be advised though it is a little hotter then WWB or UMC by 100 fps or so according to chrono.

Hi,

That must be some pretty hot stuff there, as WWB is rated at 1,190 fps at the muzzle.

I must admit that I am interested in many of these modern coatings and will have to do a thorough study of them, time permitting.

I just shot 50 rounds of commercial reloads using coated "Bayou" bullets. The Luger loved them, and they seem to be more accurate in my gun than WWB - although its quite possible my evolving shooting skill could be the cause...

There were little, tiny shards of "something" scattered around inside the action afterwards though. I'm ASSuming that this is detritus from the coating, but am not sure. No problem cleaning them out though.

Hi,

Was your debris green in color?

Most importantly, did the bullets lead the barrel?
