..........If I may ask, what ammo do you use in your grandfather's 1916 DWM? (My DWM is 1917.)
Thanks
After plenty of trial and error and many stovepipes, I've found that the Czech made Sellier & Bellot 124grain works best, in conjunction with Mecgar magazines. In fact the same combination works flawlessly on my 1942 Mauser Luger.

The common wisdom here is that these guns prefer hotter European ammunition, but whatever you do don't use +P ammunition.

Best,
Mike
