1917 DMW in 30 Luger

I might suggest that you FIRST try your new Luger with factory ammo, and a Mec-Gar mag. The old wood based mags have a tendency to split when loaded after all these years. That would be a shame as these old mags have value. Lugers like to be clean and well lubed.

If your Luger runs correctly with factory ammo and a good mag, then have at reloading the brass. A lot of us on this forum handload 7.65Para, and have for many years.
