Blue Dot with 7.65 Luger reloads???

Rich,

Found a reference: 7 to 7.5 grains Blue Dot with 85 grain bullet @ 1297fps.

This isn't a load that I have used, so I'm not recommending it's use. Just passing it along.

it should work fine, but as a quite slow pistol powder, you'd get the best results if your gun is a 4.75in barrel (or longer) rather than the 3 7/8 version....doesnt meter very well through most measures, tho...if you're weighing each charge, not an issue
