Luger 45 ACP Project

GT and I took our .45 Lugers to the range today and the results were a bit mixed. Both of us had feeding problems with one of my magazines not wanting to feed the second round under almost any circumstances and mine did not remain open after the last round. I believe that GT thinks we can work out these issue without too much trouble and possibly by changing ammo. Today I had taken a box of new Winchester white box 230gr thinking that they would work because Eugene used it in testing my pistol; but on second thought wished I had taken some of the other brands I have to see if they worked.. I'll try some of DJU's Wolf ammo next along with some of the other stuff that Eugene said he used in testing.
Regardless, both pistols proved to be tack drivers considering two elderly half blind shooters were driving the train. After we get together and try some different ammo, we'll update this report.
