Hi,

I'm not surprised to hear that, as all of my favorite powders have always been "dropped or discontinued". Remember H-450?

The problem is that the industry has consolidated. Now there is one company that either owns or is distributing almost everything. This is not good for the shooting public, as perceived "duplicate" products are more often than not, dropped for financial reasons. I guess the attitude is "take it or leave it" rather the "replacement" product shoots worth a darn or not!!!

Very sad indeed.

What's to be dropped next, IMR 4895? After all, H 4895 has been around for years, hasn't it! Yea.

You may have just discovered that your Luger does not like plated bullets!! Before I walked away from loading them for your luger(I am hardheaded), I would definitely try different powders.....I have had good luck with Unique and Power Pistol. Both are a medium burn powder.

I use Red Dot in some of my 30 Luger loads, and it performs very well for me. Bullseye does also. A different caliber in a different Luger. A lot of variables there.

Keep us informed as to your progress....I like to know what reloading components work for other Luger shooters. One can never have too much info on Lugers.
