OK - I think I got over it..

Hey P.J...!!!

What has worked for me is a 124 or 125 FMJ bullet going just shy of 1200 FPS. However - work up slowly to that load - as you are looking for consistient feeding and full cycles, rather then loading too hot and bashing the Luger. Like you - I've had a difficult time finding commercial ammo that will feed/fire reliably - so I resorted to loading my own. However - the commercial stuff does feed/fire just fine in my Hi-Powers and 1911 9mms - but won't cycle the shooter Lugers I have..??

Best to you,

John D.
