A fellow club member gave me a magazine full of this type of bullet and it functioned perfectly.
I would also like to thank you people for all the information you have posted over the years as it is what has allowed me to get this pistol working properly.

Hi,
I subscribe to this magazine. Is this issue already on the stands, as I don't remember seeing several articles on Parabellum reloading recently, as this would have been a joy for me.
Well, I hope he knows what he is talking about, but this is doubtful, as loading for the Parabellum is a lost art. We will see.
If you want some truncated cast bullet loads that are one holers, please PM me and I'll gladly share these.
The Luger isn't hard to load for at all, once you understand some basics. These basics have been lost over the years, however, particularly powder selection and OAL requirements.
I hope to hear from you.
