Advice Needed

VERY grateful for these notes. My mag. is an oldfashioned wooden-base, and I'm not sure it fits well. Its spring is very stiff; it's a struggle to load six rounds. I would start by trying a new MecGar mag., but here I'm ignorant. The mags I find online are for 9mm pistols. Can I use one in my 7.65 mm Luger, then? I hadn't known that. On ammo, I was having a lot of trouble with Fiocchi a couple of years old, found that new Privi Partizan (Serbian, from Lucky Gunner) worked much better. I will be more aware of limp-wristing. I don't think the problem is from lack of cleaning or lube. I guess it makes sense to try the above solutions before getting into replacing the recoil spring. Thanks to all for the prompt, gracious, and expert guidance. CF
