Bang, Whoops, Bang, Whoops.....!

I got to the range today for my DWM's maiden voyage. I had four mags and two different brands of ammunition; Winchester 93 gr, FMJ, and Fiocchi 93 gr, Semi jacketed soft point.
I shot approximately 30 rounds of each, while rotating the four mags. While the weapon itself was accurate, the problem I had was with feeding. I only loaded six to seven rounds each, and the Fiocchi seemed to have a bigger problem feeding than the Winchester. The round would get jammed at about a forty-five degree angle, half-way up the loading ramp. These jams weren't consistent however as some mags ( not always the same one ) emptied all rounds without a jam, and some jamed on first round. All in all, the Winchester with the FMJ performed better. The soft lead noses of the Fiocchi showed modest gouges in front end on lead after a jam.
As for accuracy, I'm pleased with the results. Many, if not most of the hits were touching each other. Mind you, it was only at fifteen yards, just for a test run.
The Luger is a 1922 DWM, commercial, ser#9805-k, and in .30 cal.
Awaiting the jury's decision
