Default Luger Ammo

Hi:

Try to match up with the original German Army loading of 124gr. bullet, loaded at 1.169 to 1.173 (round nose) at approximately 1,076 fps.

I agree that powder makes a difference, though some here would disagree with me on this point. If you reload, try some SR4756 or Power Pistol powder. These do the trick for me as far as accuracy and reliability go.

If your springs are in good shape, the S&B 124gr is a good bet, but nothing hotter please.

Good luck!
