.30 Luger malfuntion question

maxmanta · 04-25-2005, 06:29 PM

I experienced two identical malfunctions while shooting my .30 1920 DWM today. In each case, the cartridge failed to go straight into the chamber. Instead, the cartridge got jammed bullet-up in the ejection port.

I was shooting Fiocchi ammunition, which I understand is somewhat under-powered. My thinking is that the bolt did not move back far enough (short stroked) which caused the malfuntions.

Is this likely, or should I find a new magazine spring?
