Hi all,
Have been looking for the safest / best ammo for 2 shooters - a 1918 Luger P08 and a Walther P38 ac43.
A local gunsmith recommended 9 mm Luger subsonic 150 gr, but this same ammo was discouraged by others who are familiar with these C&R handguns.
I finally "took a chance" with my P38, and after 70 rounds, I have had no problems. I really do not want to fire this heavy round through my P08 until I have more information- therefore my question:
Is there data to be found on the pressures exerted by standard loads together with the maximum pressures recommended for the two firearms mentioned above? Weight of the round versus weight of the load of course both have a bearing on the result.
Thanks
