Physics & Luger loads!???

[G.T.]

Just recently the thread for the 7.65 x 19 was revisited....one of the posts mentioned some of the problems that arose with the wildcat on the 9 mm brass....in the area of function and case seperation....

My question to reloaders (and wildcatters!!) are as follows, If you used a somewhat heavy bullet for the cartridge, say 100 gr, would this not help the function, or at least make up for some of the suspected reduced inertia? Also, I noticed that the .30 Mauser sport parabellum (in the 70's)was sporting a slab side barrel, while the 9mm had a full bull barrel, do you suspect this weight reduction had a purpose in the overall function of the .30 Luger in general? What if you used a pencil thin 1900/06 type barrel, would this be a better choice for function? And last, if you size correctly, or fire form your brass, use quaility brass and neck size only, shouldn't this alleviate case seperation at the shoulder? I'm not a reloader, but I have listened in on some trouble shooting tips, and they seem to parallel this type of problem......What say ye! till...later...G.T.
