Loads for 06/29 Swiss Luger

rhuff · 10-30-2011, 04:15 PM

My old Lyman's Reloading Manual lists 4.6-5.2gr Unique for 85gr FMJ. My new Lymans (49th) does not list anything for that bullet. To me, 6.0gr is too hot of a load. I have been using Red Dot for quite a while with Sierra 85gr, and Hornady 85gr, but am planning to do some tests with Unique very soon. Red Dot is a very fast powder, but has worked well near max loading.
