Robust Luger action? High ejection?

Premise. White box Winchester 115 grain ammo. I believe common , powerful enough and safe to use on a Luger.

Shot a few times , very nice , impeccable action, ejection. Could not find all the shells??? WTH!?

I shot again and looked up following the ejected cases...Jesus they flew like 25 or more feet in the air, and apparently some rained down on my roof, stuck in the gutter.

Is it normal Luger operation? Safe for the parts or it indicates too powerful ammo?

I wonder, if I shot my 1911 or Glock ! Or even AR 15 sideways so they would eject upwards, would the shells fly as high??
