I've read caveats about Remington ammo in Lugers, that it does not function dependably. If the warnings were specifically about only the 9 mm format, that is good because I have a few boxes of vintage Remington--also found for very good price--in .30 Luger that I basically bought for the brass. If it is OK to shoot reliably, I'll give it a go and have more brass to reload.
