If you encounter problems with the mag, you should try to replace the springs, that's what we are currently working on with my magazines
Hi:

Yes, the later Mauser Parabellums were designed to fire the hotter modern ammo, and, thus, a stronger magazine spring is necessary to catch-up with the additional speed of recoil of the toggle.

In my opinion, the later Mauser springs are an ideal, all around spring for just about any application with a Luger, as too strong is ok but too weak means a jam.

G.T. will come up with the right "formula" believe me.
