RK, make sure you have good strong mag springs in the Luger and also make sure the load will lock back the toggle EVERYTIME, if not, you load is too light. The load does appear to be a little light to me too. BUT, if it competely works the action it is not. There are so many different strength recoil springs in these guns, that each one must be approached as an individual. If you take a Luger with a very weak main spring and put a strong load in it, it will get hammered pretty hard on the toggle/frame ramps and peening of the metal can happen. If you take a Luger with a standard strength main spring and fire a light load it may not even eject or it might eject but not function the hold open every time. A good balance is needed to make them happy. Most feed jams are caused by weak mag springs (the round doesnt have time to get into position before the breech block comes forward) or overal length is not right, or the mag lips are bent or have been "adjusted". Good luck.
