What's good 9mm ammo for that caliber Luger. I read it should be between 115gr and 124gr. But I've also read you need something stronger than usual.
It's FMJ I know; what shape bullet is best? Round nose?
Thanks, wanna get that right before I shoot it.
Also, I've read Lugers are not the most reliable shooters/ That true?


Don't go Plus P or NATO, just Winchester white box or even Sellier and Beloit. Round nose FMJ is fine. The hyper velocity stuff is hard on the old girls...
They may not be as smooth functioning as Glocks, etc, but set up correctly with good mags and ammo Lugers can be quite reliable and WAY more fun to shoot. But it sometimes takes some experimenting to get there.
