Blue Dot load?

I have several loads that were great, but three stood out over time. I've really grown fond of Remington's 102gr Golden Saber, made for the .380 ACP. With 10.4 grains of Blue Dot, Federals GM100M primer and a 1.065" OAL, my byf 42 shoots great!!! I also get great results with Winchester 115 grain HP loaded over 9.6 and 9.8 grains of Blue Dot, a Winchester WSP primer and an OAL 1.12". The 9.6 especially seems to perform well...

Johnny:

Both of your loads are way over maximum per several manuals I have checked!!!

100 gr. maximum is listed at 9.2 grs in the Hornady Manual

115 gr. maximum is listed at 8.9 grs in the Hornady Manual

Frankly, I'm surprised you and your Luger are still with us.
