hollow points in the luger - Page 2

Here is a list of a few hollow points I've reliable fed through a Luger along with their choreographed velocities. May be helpful to some.

EDIT: apparently I can't post thread links. Just search under my user name for previous threads.

>choreographed velocities

I'm sorry, but are they dancing their way downrange?
Was this an "autocorrect" for chronograph?

Haha, yes good catch. Computer corrected how I misspelled.

Hi All,

I haven't been posting, as I just got out of the hospital from being hit, run over and dragged by an SUV. I'm lucky to even be alive!!!

115 and 124gr Hornday XTP's at 1.093" work in my 1916 DWM

I was surprised

Any feeding issues I have had are magazine related.
I have not found any real issue with JHPs, but the RN probably feed more consistently than the Conical JHPs.

To me putting HP rounds in a Luger is like drinking beer from a wine glass. It just doesn't seem right.
