<strong>8 grs of Blue Dot, with a 124 gr FMJ, in the Artillery Luger (with standard, not weakened mainspring) is super. Some folks will weaken the mainspring to function with a lighter load, but I favor the Blue Dot load with a normal strength mainspring. Ejection is brisk but not overly so. Booms like a rifle. I also favor Unique powder in the 4" Barrel Lugers but I like Blue dot for the longer Artillery!</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">Dear Thor:

I don't know this for a fact, but it makes good common sense to me, that the LP-08s came with lighter main springs. The Germans didn't issue a special load for the LP-08, they shot regular issue ammo in them. Their regular powder had a burning rate very similar to SR 4756, a rather slow powder, compared to many, that probably worked quite well in those 200mm barrels.

Just a point of interest, how is your accuracy with the Blue Dot load out of a LP-08?
