Second luger - shooter...key holing issues

This may be a long shot, but worth mentioning. Was your target backed up with a firm backing like cardboard, etc.? If the target was made of thin paper, and without backup, it will tear instead of punch as a response of being struck by the bullet, and give one the appearance of keyholing. Just a thought.

I'm more of a rifle shooter, but if that was my pistol I'd give it a careful cleaning, make a cerrosafe cast of the chamber, and then I'd slug the bore. Now...after you fire your pistol, what do the fired cases look like?
