Thanks very much for the loading info! I was thinking along the lines of 4756 or Blue Dot myself, but I will definately give the Accurate #5 a try. I assume your data was established with a 4" barrel, do you Know the approximate groove diameter of your Luger?
I have been toying with the idea of loading one of the 147 gr. bullets. Lyman and RCBS both offer a mold in that size. I would only have to make about 1095 or so to make "Major" in the IDPA league. What a hoot! A 110 year old pistol design competing with the latest and greatest..................................
