Hi Iqbal,

congratulations for your buy!

A word of caution:
A gunsmith told me some years ago that the old 9mm Parabellum (= 9mm Luger) guns as Luger 08 or Mauser C96, etc. should not be shot with the current manufactured 9mm ammunition, because this is normally loaded to higher pressures.

In fact, Lapua offered ammunition especially for these old guns with a reduced velocity of ca. 320 m/s for a 115grs FMJ bullet.(As I write this, I have one box of this ammunition before me.
There is a stamp on the flap, saying "V(elocity) at 25m = 300 m/s" for a 115grs bullet).
I shot a Luger 08 from 1936 with this ammunition and the gun functioned flawlessly!

I would suggest to reload some ammo in accordance of the the starting loads in the manuals, and only if these won´t function, increase the charge.

It takes a little more effort, but I think such a gun deserves it!

best wishes
Rolf
