IF it is 9mm x 19 it won't hurt it. It would just 'clean it up'. You really need to inspect it closely. Does it have the 'sealing ring' that OEM Lugers had??? There's a pic of the 'sealing ring' (some call it a 'stepped chamber') here somewhere...That might cause some binding, especially if it had crud built up around it...
I haven't tried it, but running a SAAMI-spec 9x19 reamer in a 'stepped chamber' would
probably cut the step out...
Not a big deal (at least to shooters), but might be something to a collector...

What brand ammunition were you having problems with??? Maybe if one of us had it, we could give a better opinion...
