30 luger loads?

Every Luger is an individual.....at least mine are. If your Luger functions reliably with 231 powder, then you have a winner!! Mine do not "play well" with the faster burning powders, but those are MY Lugers. Give your 231 powder a go, and see what happens. That is part of the fun of handloading, at least to me. Be sure to report back your findings, as many of us here enjoy learning what works in the 30 Luger brass.

I use a similar load to Bob with excellent results. BTW HP38 is exactly the same as W231. Bill

The powder burn rate chart that I have(there are many....and they are all somewhat different) shows 231/HP38 burn rate to be close to that of Unique. I may have to give it a try once it becomes available to purchase. When I say fast burners, I am referring to Bullseye and Red Dot powders.
