Default Bad extractor or bad ammo?

Hi,
I have a nice DWM Luger dated 1918 shown here:


I just got it and went to shoot yesterday only to find it wouldn't properly extract spent shell casings.

I noticed that there was some serious scuffing on the outer case as shown here:


It was remington rounds marked for Luger pistols yet they would appear to a novice like me to be slightly too large to fit in the chamber.

Some shells had to be extracted with a pocket knife.

Does anybody know of a better round that will fit in this weapon?

Thanks.
I'm sure to some this is an utter n00b question but this is my first personal experience with a Luger despite a lot of weapon experience. (Mostly military)

Greg
