Powders vs Velocity
Hugh had posted some chronographed loads and seemed like Hercules (now Alliant) Unique was the best overal for most barrel lengths 4"-8". I am hoping he will repost the info. The interesting thing I remember was that the 6" barrel Lugers produced about the same velocity as the 8" model with standard loadings. A heavy load with slower powder might show more promise in the longer barrel. The heavier barrels seems to need a little more recoil energy to work the action properly. Most Artilleries I fire with standard ammo eject really softly and just drop the empties right at my feet. Easy to collect the brass but just doesn't seem right no me!
