ammo help

[Thor]

I have had little trouble shooting wheel weight alloy if I dont push the bullets over 1000 fps, this can be a little problematical with a Luger as you may not have enough recoil impetus to operate the action unless you go to a heavy bullet. This has always been a good rule of thumb that has worked well. I dont shoot lead in my Lugers, just jacketed bullets. With the rough bores from corrosive ammunition lead bullets would fill up the pits and be a problem I dont need. If the barrel is very very smooth and you either shoot a very hard alloy or use whell weight alloy and keep the velocities down a bit, you might get a way with it, perhaps a lighter recoil spring, but that might cause other problems with the action. Make my Luger bullets jacketed please. If lead ammo was a cheap alternative, why didnt the Germans use this option, at least for practice? ~Thor~
