Bob, I did a Search of this sub-forum to see if you had posted any of your Nambu handload data, and didn't find anything (only came up with six threads with Nambu in them, in this sub-forum)...

I still can't get any of the powder I'd like [4895, W231] but I have some Red Dot and Blue Dot left from before the freeze...

Do you have any loads for the 102gr FMJ Nambu bullet using Red or Blue Dot???

I was going to try a load for the 93gr 30 Cal Luger using Red Dot from a 1970 Lyman manual in my Nambu conversion cases...They list a low end of 3.9gr and max of 4.3...I may try 4.8gr to start, just a few to see if it cycles or if the primer flattens...Couldn't find any Red Dot data for the Nambu on the net...
