Vihtavuori powder & 30 Luger

sheepherder · 04-09-2015, 10:01 AM

I was poking around last week and found this listing for VV N340 at Handloads.com for the 30 Luger.

Haven't tried it; have never seen the powder in my area.

Yes, I also have the 5.4 gr listed, but as a maximum load. I have just started playing with the Luger so I am loath to submiy it to such pressure. I will chronograph so as to stay around 1180 ft/s max, which should be enough to punch holes in paper at 25 m. Speaking of which, I must aim well under the black with the 4.8 gr load to keep them Inside. I guess that with a hotter load I'll need to aim slightly higher, probably just at the 6 o'clock of the black. I remember reading somewhere that they were tuned to be point of aim at 50 m.
