So glad to hear this. Now you have a baseline to work against. You now know that this Luger will function with RNFMJ, so your handloading can proceed from there as to which bullet profiles, bullet materials, OALs, etc. you want to try. This is the challenging, and fun part of handloading......with a real feeling of self accomplishment once you have your loads shooting 100% reliably, and accurately. Keep us informed, and congrats!!
