Because of the overload discussed above... FIRE THIS AMMO IN LUGERS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! Sieger
THAT is a HOT load. I wonder what a steady diet of those will do to the new Sig pistols the military is using? I wouldn't let that load near my Lugers.

For sometime now I've been using the Berry's plated 115 grain FBFN bullet (truncated cone like the original Luger bullet) over 5.6 grains of CFE Pistol powder with outstanding results. My Lugers love that load and it also works well in my other 9mm handguns including my Stribog.
