Went out again today, took five boxes of different 9mm loads and three pistols. Until very recently I sort of viewed ammo like regular gas, get a decent brand and it would be ok, any 9mm 115 g would work, and to some degree it did. My 1918 Erfurt is a completely different gun with 125g lead roundnose & 5.3g of Unique. (I had replaced the spring with a lighter one). I was running seven shots as fast as I could drop the barrel back down and pull. I shot 124 fmj with 5.9g Unique in my P1 and Mauser HP. The P1 with the alloy frame did better with 115g but the Mauser HP is heavier and was flawless wth the 124g
fmj. With the Luger I'm very careful with case and overall length, really makes a difference. No jams, great accuracy, lot of fun to shoot. Just ordered 1000 124g fmj, 500 .45 bullets (185g swc)and a set of .45 dies.
