Interesting Powder for 9mm Luger

Sieger,

Thanks for the Power Pistol load suggestion. I'll put it in my list of loads to try. It is always nice to get suggested loads that have been shown to work well.

The 7.5 grains of Blue Dot with a 124 grain bullet isn't a warm load at all. Blue Dot is a slow powder and that load only produces 1,080 fps (chronographed out of one of my Sig 226's). It's really just a standard pressure load. I've loaded 8 grains (not for a luger) and it's still a standard pressure load. It does depend on what bullet you are using and what seatting depth.

Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!
