P08, an artillery, and a carbine Luger if memory serves. It is so rare to find articles concerning Luger specific handloads, that I have filed it for future reference.

Hi,

I've read that article, and, basically, found it useless, as he made little or no attempt to develop loads for accuracy. To me, it seemed more like an advertisement for the aforementioned new powder.

I did find the article, mentioned by the other poster above, on line and printed it out. Not by the author he quotes, this was just a general article for modern 9mm Luger loading, again, with no reference to accuracy. You would probably do better just to refer to the Hornady Handbook for reloading.

Oh well.
