Best cast loads for a Luger

Well, I have no experience with cast bullets but try the rainier 124gr plated flat nose. Nice tight groups at 25 meters.

The powders I use are the european made vihtavuari since american brands are hard to get here. I would say that all powders in the mid range in terms of burn rate will do.

Personally I often go for N340, wich is a good compromise, but I've heard that these powders are expensive so alliant or similar powders are perhaps a better alternative for you.

One last thing: I would recommend quite light loads, they will often shoot better.
Good luck!
