Luger Loads
 

I have two Erfurt Lugers, and would like to know what is considered safe to shoot? I currently have a few boxes of Winchester 124 "Nato" rnds????Any help will be appreciated...:confused:

I would stay away from NATO or +P rounds, as They are loaded for modern firearms and sub guns. Standard federal, rem white box , S&B (All 115 grain standard velocity) are my recomendations.

Those old Lugers should never be fired with modern high speed and high power ammunition because they may have become structurally unsound.
If you have a collectible don't shoot it.

A couple of others that have worked for me are 115-124gr FMJ Winchester White Box, and PMC. Some Lugers are ammo sensitive due in part to the fact that many have had their mainsprings replaced with ??? weight spring. If one brand of ammo does not work for you, then try another. Mags are another culprit in Lugers. Good luck.

What Rhuff said. Absolutely, positively do NOT shoot NATO ammo in your Luger!

Thanks folks...I'll take it under advisement..LOL!
