LUGER AMMO

Bob, yes you are right. The Luger was originally geared for 124 grain. Like you, I find 124 somewhat hard to come by in Northern VA and expensive. Locally, 115 goes for $6 to $8 a box while 124 costs $13. You might want to try some of the internet ammo sites. Cheaper than Dirt usually has 124 grain in a number of different brands at good prices. You might find 147 grain a little too Hot for steady use, particularly if you have one of the older DMW/WWI Lugers. But before you give on 115, you might want to try some different brands. Sometimes that can make a real difference in of itself. My Luger seems to prefer Megatech over Winchester and PMC.
