Right Ammo to the luger.

Than you all for the comments. I agree with much of it and what I did not think of was the slower burning powder in reloaded ammo.
I have reloaded much and have used the fast burning N-310 from Vihitavuori. That was too fast and the tolerances were two critical and went for the n-330 which functioned better with the same bullet speed. I used 124 grain bullets.
To Steinar you are right in the different ammos you mentioned but before that they used a submachinegun ammo from UK called Mk IIz which was very powerfull like the +P today I imagine. It was then some started to use the Schmeisser barrels which made the pistols function better as their mass was directly placed in the operating mechanism as the barrel and forkpeace became heavier which in turn acts as stronger springs and slow down the acceleration a bit.
There were a lot of research about magazines and other things that did not work as well as the increased mass on the barrel. But the construction of the Luger I think require smaller tolerances for the ammo so that with the slower burning powder I will try. I also saw a difference by shooting lead bullets and full mantel jackets.
I have not used the Luger for some years and will take up that again. The precision in the thick barreled Lugers (modified) is good with the right ammo so it is now to find the good precision ammo and also good functioning.
I will go through much of the comments here to see how this works.
Thanks again for the comments
