Bought a white box of Winchester 9mm 147 grain. Can I use this in my 1910 P08 luger

Hi,

IIRC, the ammo used at the time Lugers were current was the 125gn standard velocity bullet.

As long as it's standard velocity, and not "NATO" or +P power it will probably work.

But.. the Luger is pretty finely balanced, and you may find cycling problems surface with the heavier bullet.

I personally don't fire collectible Lugers because of the risk of damaging numbered parts.
