P08 amunition question

First I would like to thank the people that answered my previous post on my Luger I was having a very difficult time trying to find some history on this arm
I have another question regarding amunition:
I believe that I herd in the past to choose an Luger carefully, some where not proofed for modern smokeless ammo and the older ones only fired Black powder or smokeless and to fire modern ammo can be a problem?

Also is their a easy way of finding out the correct caliber of old Lugers, mine I was told was 9 MM Parabellium and was shot many times by the previous owner who shoots at my gun club but I herd that some Lugers are .30 Luger or .30 Mauser is their any way to tell so as to shoot safely I measured the barrels bore to verify what was said and it is a 9mm which is waht I wanted

Thank You Much
