Michael,

I did not think for a moment that you did not appreciate the information I offered to you. That post was not directed in your direction. I have tried the fast burners like Bullseye and Red Dot powder in the 9mm brass for my Lugers. I can make them work, but the results do not meet my requirements. This info concerns MY LUGERS, and does not mean that these fast powders will not work in your Luger. This is a trial and error type endeavor, but is also part of the fun of handloading. Once you hit upon "the load" for your Luger, you have the satisfaction of achievment....anyway, I do.

I firmly believe that you will be wasting your time with any trials with Trail Boss Powder in 9mm brass. I use it a lot in the old large black powder cases, but it was never designed for a high pressure round, and it does NOT play well if compressed.

Let us know how things work out for your loads.
