Try to follow the recipe for the Winchester Walmart white box stuff. They work perfectly in a 9mm luger pistol.
Over here in the old world we prefer the Sellier & Bellot 124 grain FMJ as it functions flawlessly with very good results, a good pressure curve and a very clean burn. I also fired the 140 grain 'subsonic' from S&B, works great but point of aim changes somewhat.
The best shooter lugers are the post-1936 Mausers. Metallurgy was at it's peak at that time.
If you intend to shoot an earlier (DWM) luger, then it won't harm to use a somewhat milder load, although all versions still manage to outperform many a modern gun when it comes to reliability, safety and precision.
