Luger Heavy Barrel Not Cycling

I have a fair supply of 110gr JSP bullets for my carbines, and have though many times about trying to develop 30 Luger loads with them, but, to date, have not done it. I fear that 110gr may just be a bit heavy for the Luger toggle system, but do not know for sure. I have looked and looked for any info on loading this bullet, but have come up empty.

I can look up the muzzle velocities of Fiocchi 30 Luger ammo, if you are unable to do so. I have some Western Super X 30 Luger ammo that is produced by Winchester. It is listed at 1220 ft/sec muzzle velocity and muzzle energy @ 305 ft. lbs. I believe that Fiocchi in in that neighborhood energy wise.

How does your barrel and receiver/barrel extension compare weight wise, to say an arty Luger?? They function o.k. with Fiocchi 93gr ammo.
