I had heard Unique was dirty but wow... Still, now it has a use!
Accuracy was hard to gauge given only 4 rounds and my not having been to the range in 2 and half months but the grouping was okay enough.

Hi,
If 5.0 worked well, I'd drop down to about 4.6 and test until the load just worked the hold open, as often, light loads are more accurate in a Luger.
Meanwhile, if you can load a full magazine of 8 and fire them all without a malfunction at 5.0, you know you are in the right range.
5.0 certainly is not a hot load of Unique in a 9mm.
For me, I enjoy shooting a Luger for accuracy. Before you can achieve that, however, you must eliminate malfunctions.
