* I load target loads... a couple of tenths of a grain under loading manual max recommended. I find Unique & a 124 gr bullet more accurate in a P.38. I guess the longer P.38 barrel & heavier slug gives a medium burning rate powder more chance to completely combust. The 4 in. Luger barrel likes the fast powder & a 115gr fmj for much the same reason..complete combustion in a shorter barrel span. Nominal OAL, mixed brass, CCI primers, nothing real special. I do weigh each reload for consistency & will weigh bullets if I'm going for a tight group.

Hi:

Try an AOL of 1.173 (with round nose bullets) and 3.6 to 3.9 grains of Bullseye. Somewhere in there, you will develope an outstanding target load that will give you 100% function.
