Chronographing lugers

Sieger, do you have any experience using AA #7 in longer barreled Lugers? Ive got a good bit I bought a while back to use in 7.62 Tokarev and 7.63 Mauser, but haven't really done anything with it in 9mm.

Hi,

For the LP-08, my best two powders have been 3N37 and Blue Dot.

With 3N37, I can regularly shoot three shot groups into about .5 inches at 25 yards.

With Blue Dot, I can regularly shoot three shot groups into about 1.0 inch at 25 yards.

Both of these groups were shot with the stock attached and rested over a sandbag.

I've never tired AA#7, but would really like to. The problem now, as you know, is simply finding any powder to buy.
