Identification of DWM Luger

For 9mm, many of us use the Winchester White Box ammunition for 9mm 115 FMJ (note, don't use NATO or military spec ammunition). The Winchester ammunition is generally well received here for plinking purposes but I have heard that our European colleagues use Sellier and Bellot 124 grain FMJ. I'm going to be testing some 124 grain FMJ Truncated Cone here from Fiocchi but the key is that you don't wish to use any 'hot' ammo in a Luger.

I take it then you've already confirmed (pencil test or whatever) that it is 9mm then? Welcome aboard by the way, Doc.
