Questions on my first Luger

vern · 04-20-2004, 10:47 PM

I just obtained a 1918 DWM Luger and will post a picture of it shortly. I fired it with Winchester 115 grain FMJ ammunition and the extracted cases came out looking like they were bottlenecked. See the picture (case on the right shows up the best). The "bulged" section is about .010'' more in diameter than the diameter at the mouth. Is this normal for a luger?
