Thor:
A beautiful Luger, and some damn good shooting. I see you list the 93gr. Hornady FMJ as the bullet used - is this bullet still available?

Beautiful Luger, and hard to argue with that target. That handload of Unique 5.1gr with a 93gr FMJ bullet is the load that I have settled on for my best load to date. I am loading the Swiss .309 in 93gr FMJ bullet, and the 93gr. LRN .309-.310 in. with this powder charge. It works excellent in my guns.

And later...
G.T. did re-barrel my Luger. He found an excellent replacement .30 barrel and fitted it up - it was also necessary to replace the rearmost toggle segment (with the rear sight) to achieve proper headspace (the one replaced was, itself, a replacement). He provided the toggle replacement, too.
He completed the job in very short order, and the work was perfectly done. The pistol now performs flawlessly with factory and handloaded ammunition, and shoots very well, indeed. Well done, G.T.! PRD1 - mhb - MIke |

And, the end of the journey...
I obtained some of the Hornady 90 grain JHP bullets, loaded them with the same components which were used with the Lapua 93 grainers and shot them today... You may consider this a plug for G.T. and his work.
