Hi,

IIRC, the ammo used at the time Lugers were current was the 125gn standard velocity bullet.

As long as it's standard velocity, and not "NATO" or +P power it will probably work.

But.. the Luger is pretty finely balanced, and you may find cycling problems surface with the heavier bullet.

I personally don't fire collectible Lugers because of the risk of damaging numbered parts.
