Loads for 06/29 Swiss Luger

FluffyTheCat · 10-29-2011, 07:25 PM

I've been trying my handloads in my Swiss Luger. My load is the 85 grain Sierra bullet together with 4.3 grains of 231 all loaded in Star Line brass.

Now this load sometimes fails to extract. I've checked out the other threads here and it seems that 4.3 grains of 231 is too light a charge.

It also seems that perhaps I need a slower powder--something like Unique. One guy here uses 6.0 grains of Unique together with the 85 grain Sierra bullet. This is apparently a starting load.

Apparently the maximum load is 6.5 grains of Unique. Now load data for the 7.65 Parabellum is hard to find. What do you guys think?

Your comments please.
