I gave the barrel a good scrubbing with a brass brush and some hoppes. I had taken the gun to the range right after picking it up at the store.

The WWB ammo worked great, same for some Bitter valley 9mm, and some Milwall Hollow points. My own reloads are still tumbling, and I suspect they are a bit hotter even though they are below minimum for red dot. I am using extreme plated bullets, and all the ammo that worked was FMJ except the HP's but they too had brass jackets.

I am going to down load some cases and try the extremes in some reloads to see if I can get my own reloads to work. I also will chrony my loads and the WWB loads, and try to find out the exact powder used in the WWB, but I would imagine its 231.

Thanks for the advice.

P.S. I was amazed at how light and crisp the Luger trigger is, and how well the gun handles recoil. Its also accurate, but I am not a great fan of the front sight post in low light you get at many indoor ranges.
