New to the forum and my first Luger

The Luger was originally designed to work with a truncated cone bullet... You should be fine with a FMJ or Truncated bullet.

I have stuck with round nose bullets for my Lugers. I tried some jacketed hollow point, and JSP bullets with less than stellar results. I have loaded both lead and FMJ, both in RN configuration. They function best in my Lugers. I suppose that I should give the truncated bullets a try one of these days, but it is hard to argue with success......if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
