Observation on Parabellum ammo

Hello some-finn
This thread's been going for some time but I've only just started loading 9mm Para for both a P'08 and an M35 Lahti - the two 9mils I own here in the UK - and as you're from Finland I thought you may be interested?
The first batch I loaded was with Bullseye and Vectan BA9 (Vectan claim BA9 was developed for 9mm)
Shooting outdoors at 0 deg C - the P '08 would not cycle on 4gr B/E or 4.2gr BA9 but would on 4.2gr B/E (125gr RNL) The Lahti would cycle OK on any of the above....maybe that "accelerator" does work? but I think it may need anew mainspring as it does not always return to battery - i.e. sticks on the last 3mm/.125in - slight thumb pressure and it clicks home - any suggestions? (did not have a chance to Chrono any - next time?)
BTW - My reloads transformed the accuracy of the Lahti .

Keep up the good work
