Hello,

I use hodgdon HP38 for my luger´s.
Works good, no problem with it.

regards

I'm running HP-38 also.
I am using a Molly-coated bullet, so there is a bit of smoke generated.
(this is the standard load I make for all of my 9mm pistols, modern and old)

One thing I noticed is I need to slightly decrease the OAL, for the Luger, to make it feed correctly from the magazine into the chamber.
