<strong>Bob; maybe you don"t load enough Unique to get an accurate load?
Lonnie</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">Dear Lonnie:
The commercial reloading manuals are all over the place with maximum loads for the 9mm Luger.
For the 125 gr. bullet, Hornady says a maximum of 5.1 grs. of Unique, Speer a maximum of 5.9 grs.
My Lugers have always been the most accurate with loads that just reliability work the action.
The original German text manuals for the Pistole Parabellum site a 1050 fps load for the 4 inch (100 mm) barrel. Loads crafted around the original parameters have always functioned the best and yielded the tightest groups for me.
What has been your experience with the higher pressure loads as far as accuracy and reliability go?
Bob
