Default brass deform, range report!

Hi to all.... well after a month of, "under the weather" and several more trips to the range... here's what I learned... An excellent looking extractor, doesn't mean a great working extractor!... .... Now remember this gun works flawlessly on a regular 8 round mag, but the drums bring out the hidden weakness that may be hiding in your Luger! And this case was no different.. as I was improving bullet flow in the test drum, my extractor was wearing microscopically to offset any noticeable improvement?... In short no change, just very random jams, and marred brass???? So, in a last ditch toss crap at the problem effort! I changed out the extractor with another byf I happen to have along... and Walla! It worked 100% (3 X 32 with no problems) ..... But still marks on the brass case mouth?? ... So I took the ejector, and followed Dwight's instruction, and removed about three degrees from the front, so the tip of the ejector hits the lower middle part of the case head... Walla! That problem disappeared as well?..... ... more as I learn it! Best to all, til....lat'r.....GT...
