Hi:

I have to tell you first, that Unspellable is, indeed, a highly respected Professional Engineer in real life, but, here I have to disagree with him and agree with you, based on my 30 plus years of reloading for the Luger.

I have found that loading with a powder similar to the original DWM powder and at the same velocity, does, indeed increase both accuracy and functionality of a Luger.

Powder should be "medium slow". Try Power Pistol or IMR SR 4756, as these are the closest powders I've found to date.

When you can fire a Luger 1,000 times without a function problem, and with extreme accuracy, you have found the right combination.
