Hi:
If you want to shoot tight groups with your pistol and not beat the heck out of it in the process, then you might try this target load:
124 grain Hornady FMJFP
WW Commercial Cases
Remington 1 1/2 Primers
Bullseye at 3.6 to 3.8 grs. (you find your best load)
C.O.A.L. at 28.7mm
This has been an excellent target load in my Lugers (seven touching at 25 yards) and will be easy on your pistol.
To recreate the WWI military load, which was a 123 grain bullet at 1,076 fps, please substitute one of the following for the Bullseye charge given above:
Power Pistol 5.4 grains (three shot clover leafs all day long).
SR 4756 5.5 grains (three shot clover leafs all day long).
