Unspellable,

Of coarse I know relatively speaking what a hot load is but technically, exactly where does one draw the line between "standard" and "hot"? I would imagine that in addition to load, bullet weight would also be a factor in recoil. As a shooter, I would find a list of commonly available ammo rated according to load useful. I'm looking at a box of the Walmart Winchester ammo I use and it lists the weight of the bullet but not the load. By the way, I've been following posts on your research with interest. I'm curious, despite your observations about possible incomplete breech closing and substandard recoil springs is there a history of catastrophic failure in lugers? KFS
