another 9mm reloading table in @ www

Hello

I was a touch disappointed to see a lack of several powder manufacturers tables in the links section (handloading data).

I shall leave it up to others to bring forth their preferred powder make - I'll just merely add my bit for the common good.

http://www.vihtavuori.fi/

A few notes on the brands mentioned on the site:

- "Rainier" bullets are soft swaged lead nuggets, copper plated 'tho.

- "Intercast" bullets are pretty darn hard cast lead bullets.

I myself have found 4,5 to 4,6 grains of N340 to propell a 124grain RN jacketed bullet really well outta 4" barrel. This is strong enough to work the toggle action reliably and really _not_ too hard for the gun at all. Roughly speaking my clocked speeds are in the 300 to 310 meters per second (= around 1000 fps).

--

I'd like to see webmaster to make a compilation of all input and save it here on this site as a reference handloading datasheet. This way it would benefit all Luger owners and make an input on it's part that owners would realize not to use too hot loads in these antique shooters.

Thank you.

- A.

Artsi; I agree, that would be a GREAT idea!

to post any data that you feel is a valuable resource... but compiling is not my strong point. I'm far too busy on other matters to take up a project. If you want to compile the data after it is posted or from what ever source, and submit it to me in its final form at the_dok@bigfoot.com, I would be happy to post it where it is most appropriate. Links are generally posted in the Links & Resources, and articles and other reference material is usually posted in the Genmeral Information.
