Sieger,

Thanks for all that info. I have a lot of load experimentation yet to do. And I want to get that impact point lowered. Some of what you posted should help me do that.

I hate to have to tailor loads to specific firearms, but in the case of the Luger, I doubt that there is an alternative. Now I am about to test whether "Luger loads" will operate some of my other pistols in the same caliber.

I really like SR4756. It's my favorite powder for the 12 ga. slug loads I use for deer hunting; absolute best accuracy. I never thought of using it in pistols.

I thought about loading with the lube groove exposed, but I prefer not to, since the loads require such careful "bench shooting only" type handling.

I need to find somebody who sells Mecgar mags at a low price and who has them in stock. Wideners is down to one mag, and "might" have more "in a few months". I want to buy two.
