Hi:

I'd be interested in seeing how your pistol shoots at 25 yards before I'd expect it to really group at 100 or 200 yards.

I have a handloading formula for my LP-08 (1916 DWM) that will group with six to eight touching at 25 yards. I haven't tried it at longer distances yet, so I don't really know how well it would do "a way out there".

The 115 gr. Winchester you quote above, is it the White Box stuff? According to Winchester's site, this is loaded to 1,190 fps. and, for me, does nothing but blow all over a target at 25 yards, if I can even manage to keep it on the paper. Its speed seems to be way too fast for the rifling twist of a Luger to adequately stabilize.
