P.08,

You probably have no pressure problems because you going by what the Luger was designed to do instead of SAAMI specs. The SAAMI spec for 30 Luger is probably not enough to get one to work reliably. Maybe we should regard the 30 Luger and 7.65 Parabellum as two distinct cartridges, the first SAAMI spec, the second actually designed to work in a Luger.

So warning!! Don't read this part!! If you do your Luger will blow up!! The SAAMI spec maximum average pressure for 30 Luger is 28,000 cup.
