Hi,

DWM's powder is years out of production, but they used the exact same load, 5.4 grains, in both the 9mm and 7.65mm.

Medium/slow powders, in the Luger, have always given me trustworthy accuracy and top performance. In fact, my most accurate loads, with the 9mm 124 grainers, with Power Pistol, AA5, SR 4756 and others have all been in the 5.1 to 5.5 grain range. These modern powders are all in the medium/slow burning range, by the way.

Again, WSF should be an excellent powder choice in the 7.65mm.

It sounds like that O.A.L. has been properly determined, too!

Are there any pressure signs on those necks using a .312 bullet in a .311 barrel? My 7.65s have worked just great with them.

How is your accuracy?


Good shooting,

Sieger
