Default 90 gr. LRN 30 Cal Load / Powder

I have a DWM 30 Cal. luger. Will be using 90 gr LRN bullets. What powders do you recommend for a good load for a 1925 DWM. I use clays for 45 auto and tightgroup for 9mm and believe I cannot use these from what I've read. Seems that bullseye, unigue, W231 and SR4756 seem to be the powders to use. Does anyone have experience with the 90gr LRN and what powder. Looking for accuarate load and a clean burn, Thanks for any input!!!! Also not to hot to wear out a nice DWM

Hi:

Same answer as to your other post. SR 4756 should work perfectly. Start at 5.0 grains and work up 1/10 of a grain at a time until you get perfect function and excellent accuracy.

Again, round nose bullets should have a final OAL of 1.173 inches.

With lead, I've shot bullets with a diameter as large as .312 without problems. What is the diameter of your lead bullets?

Default 30 cal luger loads

The only hard lead cast that I could find is .309+ from .3093 to .3095. Got the last 1000 bullets......bought from this supplier before for 45 and 9mm. Quality product at a great price. I bought what I could find and also bought a 100 of the .309 Hornady XTP to try also. Bought SR4756 and Unique to try to see which one I like the best. If SR4756 the Unique can go in the 45 auto and maybe 9mm I will have to check my manuals. But I figuered at around .065 cents per bullet if it leads alittle so what. I will clean more often. Just worried about the accuaracy. Wish I could have found .310 to .3105 for lead cast. But you take what you can get. No one mentioned any place for lead cast so I used my old suppliers and found the last of these

Hi:

Believe me, if you find the right combination, your Luger will shoot accurately!!!
