Need a good .30 Luger load.
 
Ok, I have Win 231, WSF, WST, 700X, HS-6 on hand. 93gr bullets. I have tried 4.1gr of 231 and it won't even cycle the action. I am thinking on bumping it up .2 gr until the gun functions. Going to start at 4.6gr. Any pet loads?? :confused:

Ok, started at 4.8gr Win231. Total crap won't cycle action. :mad:

5gr, very erratic cycling numerous ftf's <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" />

5.2, better but doesn't get the hold open to work <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" />

5.4 now were cooking sounds good function is perfect! :)

5.6 a bit hotter and still reliable no high pressure signs on the primers. :D
I think I'm going to go up to in .2gr increments until I see signs of high pressure.
