Default New Luger owner any tips?

Hello. I'm a new Luger owner who just acquired a byf 41 luger from my local dealer and was hoping to find out some information about it and learn any beginner tips. I was told to stick to 115gr ammo to avoid damaging toggle, and just fired it today with 115gr Winchester white box without a single jam in 50 rounds. All the numbers match except rhe magazine and it has bakelite grips which I was told meant it was a Russian capture. I will take some better pictures tonight when I'm off work if anyone has any pictures they'd like me to take. After firing I cleaned with hoppes number 9 and a boresnake, dried completely and then applied ballistol for around 20 minutes to the metal areas spring and firing pin, then wiped dry till a light coat was left and re assembled before putting Into a silicone sock. I would also like to know if there are any better cleaning methods for a gun of this age because I know hope's can be a strong cleaner, I thought about using mpro7 or clp but w get the cosemeline off.
