I believe they both still have their original springs.

Hi,
For a perfect fast powder target load, that works every time, try the following:
WW Commercial Cases
Remington 1 1/2 Primers
Hornady 124 gr FMJRN
Bullseye 3.7 grains
Cartridge Overall Length 1.173 inches
This is a fantastic target load, but it is a light one, less than 1,000 fps. On normal occasions, with hand held over a sandbag, up to seven have touched on a 25 yard target.
If you HAVE TO shoot fast powder, this load is an excellent one to use. Higher powder charges with this powder will cause both wider groups and cause jams.
The Winchester White Box, for me anyway, is not accurate in a Luger, as it throws bullets all over the paper at 25 yards, whereas, my carefully crafted handloads will put all eight in the 10 ring at 25 yards. Please search this section for a full listing of my most accurate handloads, if you like.
Just some of my experience with fast powders in a Luger.
