I have my load record book in front of me and thought I should share a few of my "pet" loads.

115g FMJ Weidners Hollow Base with OAL 1.120 and 6.7 grains of Power Pistol (This powder is great for 9mm and .45 ACP) ..... 1230fps on the chronograph at 8 feet from the barrel. 65 degrees F indoors in a Sig 226. Hot round not to be used in a questionable gun!!! STD of 10 after 30 shots, very accurate in all of my quality 9mm's.

Also, if you shoot lead, which most Lugers will do. 125 NEBC (New England Bullet Company, pure linotype from Russia, actually weighs less because of the purity of linotype) high hardness on Rockwell, you can not scratch it with a fingernail !!!

4.9 grains of Unique at 1.120 OAL for 1091 fps on a cronograph, 8' from the barrel same conditions as obove. 30 shots. std of 12, nice. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Have fun, be safe.
