Gentlemen:

I just read a comment in the new collectors section that one should never shoot steel cased ammo ( 9mm ) in a Luger.
The brand in question is Wolf, 9 mm,115 gr copper FMJ. While I am not a lover of Wolf ammo, I've shot some of it in other of my weapons with no apparent ill effects. A friend gave me two boxes ( 100 rnds ) of it so I didn't waste any money on it either way.
I'm sure the reason why not to do so in a Luger is a darned good one, but just out of curiosity, why not ?

Thanks in advance,
Adler Auger
