My understanding about Lugers/ammo.

Waschbaer · 08-29-2004, 10:22 PM

Call me crazy, but all loads approximating original specs given here will hang up in my luger at least once in ca. 100 rounds. The winchester is best, but it too hangs up occasionally. My personal favorite of 6.2grains AA5 with a hornady 124g XTP @ 1.094 +-.002 works miraculously well. As usual, don't use my loads as listed, start low, work your way up checking for excessive pressure, etc. I expressly disavow any liability for injury, damages, or death caused by my listed load. Postscriptum: I use original magazines, this load works in both my shooter and my collector grade 1915, the latter, however, I have stopped shooting.
