Guys! There's been some discussion here, but we really haven't answered the original question. What's the groove diameter of a 7.65 mm Parabellum barrel supposed to be? After measuring 7 or 8 barrels, I've run out of barrels to measure. How about, instead of quoting this or that source, some of you people measure your barrels and report back with the results?

I really suspect this is a case of "Everybody knows what ain't so!" I can quote a few other instances of this effect, but they don't have anything to do with Lugers.

I'd also like to hear what sort of accuracy people are getting with factory ammo and various handloads.
