Luger Ammo

What are functional loads for 4 & 6 inch bbl Lugers

[ minimum jams and holdopen functions correctly ] ?

Do not want to 'tune' the pistol [ modify recoil spring ].

We now use 4.3 grns AA-2 with a 125 grn FMJ ball.

This functions well with 6" bbls, but only fair with 4" bbls.

Thank You

Re: Luger Ammo

Jim, Welcome to the forum. I'm no great reloader, but you should mention that your lugers are the new 1970s Mauser Parabellums, as these seem to be a bit more ammo sensitive than the old battle worn PO8s.

Re: Luger Ammo

Tom, thanks : We have experimented with both the older and newer Lugers in 4" bbls, but only the new Mauser Lugers in 6" bbl size. Will send you printouts of details
