Muzzle velocity and chamber pressures (note plural) are related, but the relationship is not linear. Trying to guess chamber pressures based on muzzle velocity is an unproductive effort.

Hi,

Respectfully, did you read my quote above? Velocity was tested from a 4 inch barrel, not a 10 inch one.

Yes, I agree that muzzle velocity and chamber pressure are related. With a Luger, chamber pressure should not be the real issue, breach block slam should be, however.

Again, use this ammo at your own risk in a Luger!

Yes sir, I read your post. Respectfully and with no offense intended, I just don't believe the source you quote is correct.

The source cited is a gun rag. Let's not get too excited over a source that publishes to sell advertisements.

Hi,

We have been down this road many times before regarding NATO Ammo.

Your assertion regarding advertising sales is somewhat illogical to me; as who would they be advertising for, Winchester?

Again, SHOOT AT YOUR OWN RISK in a Luger pistol!

I would add that if you do fire the ammo in your Luger that you give an accurate report on the results....if it damages your Luger, you must report that...no hiding in the woods to cover your ass....
