Is it ok to get a $2000 Luger... then shoot it often?

Just my $02, but 7.63 Mauser ammunition should function well in a Borchardt. I don't have a Borchardt to try it on, but as the C96 was developed shortly after the Borchardt, I think it is safe to assume they both functioned satisfactorily with it. The C96 proved more popular than the Borchardt, but both were sold & shot contemporarily for a few short years.
