Thanks for the info,

Went to try some new ammo I bought for testing if compatible with the Luger, because 147 and 150gr was 100% no go I found that Geco had an in between at 139gr, thought I would try it just for the reason of wanting to have the facts about it beeing not good for the Luger, and must say to all the people who replied, you guys where right, and I did believe you, but just wanted to be sure, if you din't try it you can never know if it is good or not, so shot the Geco 139gr, after the 4th shot the 5th wouldn't cycle, did a quick field strip at the range and found that the bullet didn't enter the chamber fully anymore, came home and opened her up, took the toggle out and came to see there was a little rim inside the chambre, tapped it out, and the pictures show what happened

The full metal jacket broke open and got stuck in the barrel/chambre, tapped it out, no harm done to the gun, cleaned it out, perfectly fine, luckely,

So there you go, proof that heavier bullets are certainly not the way to go,

Everyone thanks for all the advice, Magtech 124gr works perfect, Fiochi 123gr = no good, Geco 139gr = very bad
