Unspellable,

Thanks for the data on Walmart Winchester. I use it exclusively in my lugers and newly-acquired C96 and highly recommend it: It is the cheapest ammo I know of, including ads in Shotgun News, and you don't have to buy 1000 rounds for the low price. The rare feeding malfunctions I've had with it can probably all be attributed to bad magazines, and with my eyesight it would be a waste to buy match-grade ammo.

Since we are on the subject of this load, what Wolff recoil spring would you match it with? I've been using the #38 in all my lugers with an occassional hold open failure (1 in 8 to 1 in 20 magazines depending on the gun). I installed a 10% over spec recoil spring in the C96 and so far it has never failed to feed or hold open. KFS
