finally found the right load for my p08

Hi, hi, hi there.
I managed to develop a good load for my 1938, mauser made, p08. 4,3gr Kemira N340 behind a 124gr FMJ made by MMS; OAL: 28mm
This is a moderate round that gives 320 m/s muzzle velocity - same as the original military round. Pistol works fine even when fired in extremely fast. Precision is ok.

John Lee Enfield; according to Lapua, this is the exact load they used for their VPT 44 round, especially made for the P.08. It shot so well that they still use it. Glad you found something.
