Before doing anything to the gun I'd wait and see what Norma says.

Don't the local gun shops sell them anymore?

Load them at home and head for the range. No ice cold fingers when the temperature gets low.

Here's some Accurate Arms data. The loads are for a reproduction revolver. So, I'd regard the "starting" loads as maximums.

I've used about 4000 in 9mm Par pistols. I've never had a problem, and they all fired with the first trigger pull.

I've fired over 1000 in a CZ75 and HK P7. All fired the first time I pulled the trigger. I did notice that the firing pin indentations were not as deep as when I use Winchester or Remington primers.

Holzmiete.de has a lot of information. Click on the British flag to get building instructions in english.

I would move this to the semi-auto pistol section of the forum. There you'll get answers from people specifically interested in semi-autos. You'll also need to supply some pictures so people can assess the gun's condition. Otherwise they are just guessing.

The 30/30s have a good reputation for accuracy with cast bullets.

Put a couple of rounds in you pocket, and walk around with them for a week. See if that produces the desired result.

When did they start not returning the old parts?

If you can find one that produces 440 Hz I'll buy it and have an excuse to bring a gun to rehearsal. Maybe give the oboe some competition for who gives the tuning note.

In the sunshine, over the furnace's forced air duct, and, if those aren't available, the oven at 150°F.

Sorry to hear this. I enjoyed her work in Mahler, Strauss. and Wagner.
