<hr /></blockquote>There's likely a different recoil impulse between the two cartridges. Also, the bottle-neck .30 cartridge is, IMO - and in my experience - a more reliable cartridge in the Luger. It feeds more reliably because it IS a bottle-neck and enters the chamber with much more room around it than the larger 9mm. IOW, think of a flat-faced, sharp-shouldered pin going into a close-tolerance hole vs a beveled-shoulder pin. Pretty much the same principle.
