These fit the chamber of my Sig perfectly and also fit its magazine. I haven't tried them for fit in the Luger, but I fully expect them to fit perfectly there also.

I finally got to my range this afternoon. It was a beautiful day, with crappy weather coming tomorrow.

I fired the Sig with the rounds I loaded and compared with factory loaded Fiocchi ammo. My loads performed perfectly and yielded as good accuracy as the factory ammo.

Next I'll try them in my DWM Luger.

No I don't like searching for brass, but I do like putting together good ammunition. There's a tradeoff. The tarp suggestion is a good possibility.

More info as the situation develops.
