Anybody reload for a 9mm Luger?

I’ve been wanting one since I saw one in an old Herter’s catalog my Grandfather had when I was 13 or 14. I thought I should get one before I’m too old to shoot it. They are pretty guns and iconic. The one I got was described as “possibly unfired, like new in box”. I’ll be careful with it but I’m going to shoot it, like all my pistols. I’m glad I found one nobody has abused. I’ll do what you did. Pull it apart, give it a good cleaning, lubrication and then slowly work up some loads until it functions right. I just ordered some “truncated cone” bullets to try, too.

I have not ever really been a pistol shooter, but I had a Luger (an older one) back in the 60's. I got it shortly after I purchased a surplus .45 through the NRA., I paid $14.50 for it. That gun wasn't comfortable to me and I couldn't hit anything.. About the same time I had an opportunity to buy a Luger. That gun was comfortable and I could hit whatever I wanted.

A few years later, I went to College and need the money so most of my guns were sold. I always wanted another Luger and until a few years ago, the price and the need didn't match up. So, it and two other guns had been on my bucket list, which have been completed.

231, CFE Pistol and HP38 are all powders that meter and drop well in a progressive for me.
