Also, what powder are you planning on using?

I will have to weigh some for sure. They are all .355 (100g and 115g), I was originally going to try some of the 100's as I have a lot of them on hand.

Maybe I will order some of the 115's soon.

Powder ... I was thinking Unique. There is very limited powder available locally and hazardous ship rates make it not worth buying on-line. As I reload for numerous calibers I tend to buy powder that is somewhat versatile. For the most part I can get (when it's available) Unique, Titegroup, 700-X, Longshot.

I was thinking originally that it would be nice if I was able to get the 100g to perform decently in the Luger as I "stock" those for my 380 already; but the 115's are decently priced.

I don't mind shooting cast either, but it seems like the on-line suppliers come and go quickly, so I will have to do a little research there.
