AA powders

Mike in Reedley · 11-25-2004, 02:32 AM

I've settled on AA#7 as my 9m/m powder. After reloading and shooting pistols for 30 years, I shot my first Luger today, a Mauser 70's era with a 4" bbl. It rarely works out for me this way, but today the first load I tried worked GREAT. 7.2 grains of AA#7, with a 125 grain commercial cast sized to .356 and their Moly type lube shot under 2" off bags at 25 yards. Point of impact was near enough that no pop can is safe at that distance.
I just started shooting Lugers today and this is only my second post on this forum. I'm sure there are people on here with a ton more knowledge on this topic than I. I'm lucky I stumbled into this pistol/load combo, but I'm sticking with what works!
