I have a box of American Eagle 124gr I have to try out too. I'll have to try out the PMC 115gr next time I pick up ammo. I was just under the impression that Lugers preferred higher grain ammunition to get the action to cycle properly.

I believe that you will find that many of the folks on this forum that shoot their Lugers will shoot 115gr FMJ with no problems. Actually, I have only tried 124gr FMJ one time.

Lugers can be like .22cal handguns.....very ammo sensitive. Just try different brands and bullet weight until you find the "golden brand", and then buy up a bunch. That is what I did with the PMC 115gr FMJ.
