I fear that you might just have to try a "few" to find a load that is compatible with your Luger, and the recoil impulse that matches the springs currently inside your Luger.

Many here have had good luck with 115/124gr FMJ Winchester white box, I have found that MY Lugers are happy with PMC 115gr FMJ, and my handloads with 115gr FMJ bullet and a full load of Unique powder. Others here swear by Magtec 115/124gr FMJ......I think you see the trend here.


It could be something other than the ammo, but the FIRST thing that I would change is that Remington ammo out for something else.....it just may solve your problem.
