Hi Henrik,

S&B is actually very, very close to the original spec DWM 9mm bullets. I've shot both 115gr and 124gr S&B and difference is not great, the 124gr has a mildly better accuracy.

After shooting several lugers, I found that finding the right magazine was essential for performance and I tend to use only 2 mags in all 3 lugers. The 1913 DWM, the VoPo and the 1937 S/42 all like the early 30's blued tube mags in combination with S&B rounds.

As the OAL of the S&B is close to original specs, it means that the later extruded mags as well as the MecGars, both setup for slightly shorter OAL don't work as reliably as the older magazines.

Stovepiping is common with the S&B and 'new' magazines in my case.<hr /></blockquote>Hi:

I agree here. The new Mec-Gars do seem to be set up for the shorter stuff. I'll study this further and get back with a thread.
