I don't recognize the member, but he specifically states that his loads (not the maximum ones Speer lists) functioned 100% in his Lugers. The Speer handbook cites the Beretta 92SB as the test pistol for these loadings, not the P-08 Luger.
Hi,

Just about any pistol powder can be made to function a Luger. The real question is: which one will provide the most accurate, most powerful (within the original specs. of 123 grain bullet at 1,076 fps) and most consistent handloads?

Blue Dot, simply, will not do that for me in a 4 inch barreled Luger.

If you value your Luger, please do not attempt to shoot +P or +P+ loads of any kind through it, as it was not designed to handle them and they will, eventually wreck your pistol!!!
