Need help w/ammo

I've tried for about three years to get a consistent load for my Thor restored 1918 Erfurt, since the gun is in the same shape it was when assembled I had the safety of knowing it isn't the gun. I took it out with an armload of other guns shooting yesterday, what my two P38s, Radom, and Wa'd BHP would feed without notice jammed the luger up. It was mostly 124g lrn with 5.5g of Unique. I put together 5.9 red dot with a 115g fmj and an OAL about 1/4" longer than the other 9mm, it fired fifty rounds with out one failure using three different magazines. I set my OAL using a 1964 Finnish round as a guide.
