Thanks very much for your responses.

rhuff, yes, I did know that 30 Luger is 7.65 Parabellum , but had momentarily forgotten. Old age, I guess. I'll fix the post. And thanks for the tip on Unique vs faster powders.

Don, thanks also for pointing out what should have been obvious to me. Duh. I just latched onto the fact that when I had stronger springs the toggle latched open early, and when I put the weaker springs back in, it worked right. I need to think about this some more. And, to answer your question, I was using the Fiocchi 93gr FMJ. Came in a mostly black box with gray stripping, which I think is their "new" color scheme.
