Hello to all! Well, everything was going good until my problem child .30 Luger reached home! I tested the gun on a diet of WW .30 Luger, probably from the 60's or 70's... and that what it finally was using when I thought the tuning was complete! Wellll, not so fast Kemosabe......... The owner is using Fiocche .30 luger and the gun failed to perform on almost every level??? Look like more learning to be done?? What say our resident .30 shooters?

Is this un-usual?... I did measure the OAL and the Fiocchi round was approx. .020" shorter... That would certainly not help.. but I think the culprit is not enough power?... Opinions & experiences welcomed!

... best to all, til...lat'r...GT

THERE'S MORE!
Just got a note that when switched back to WW ammo, worked like a charm!!! ..... so, how do we make it work on both??... Stay tuned! ...
