Mike you should also find the Winchester ammo to be satisfactory... many swear by it for reliability... you can buy it in a bulk pack of 100 rounds at walmart for about $11.00 or less.
Regarding the year your gun was produced, the thread I mentioned had this information:

the production date is stamped on the frame left side. Usually close to the Ulm acceptance mark there are two digit or two letter. If you have two digits, they represents the last two digits of the year, for example (73 for 1973). At a certain point of the production, Mauser started to use two characters instead of digits. In this case you have to apply the following rule: A=0, B=1, C=2 .. For example HI, it means 78.

So what numbers or letters appear on the left front of your frame?
