Where do you live in NM? So I can "stand back" when you shoot that thing! Remembering that the round SAAMI pressure is around 35,000 psi about the same as a 357 Magnum, I sure wouldnt push it above +p level. 8 grs of Blue dot with an Artillery Luger THAT HAS A FULL Strength recoil spring is all I want, it booms like a rifle. I DONT shoot this load in Lugers with a smaller barrel. If you push the pressures, you can get allfull nasty stuff happening like blown primers, fractured breechblocks from back pressure, etc! AINT a good idea IMO, but heck, I have shot just the top off a Luger before (no frame) so dont listen to me, lol! <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />
