Hi unspellable,

Bullet diameter of the 7.65 Parabellum really is .309, and bullets of .308 diameter do provide nice accuracy in a nice condition bore. And yes, true bore diameter of Lugers will vary with wear and tear :-(

That said, try the .309 bullet diameter ammunition in your Luger. Itâ??s sometimes surprising just how accurate a .309 bullet can be when fired through a .311 groove diameter bore.

Regarding ammunition, Iâ??d suggest the Finish military surplus being offered by SAMCO (http://www.samcoglobal.com). Iâ??ve found the Winchester .30 Luger to be too hot for my taste - it sounds, looks, and feels like 7,63 Mauser going off!

Best regards,

Kyrie
