Wow! Overpressure Russian Ammo!

I've tried Winchester 9mm and my Luger doesn't like it. Sounds like others have had better luck with it.

I said previously that I have steel-cased Russian ammo and it is, but just now I put a magnet to the bullet too and that attracts a magnet as well. The bullet core is lead.

It's my understanding that the steel used in steel jacketed bullets is soft and thin and barrel steel is tough and hard. But I'm sure that the general concensus is that shooting steel jacketed ammo in a Luger ist "Streng Verboten!"
