Sieger,

The Remington 124 grain jacketed hollow point has a profile that allows it to feed perfectly, at least in my guns, at an overall loaded length of 1.12 inches. This overall loaded length is LONG for a 9mm hollow point round (Quite a bit longer than any factory loaded JHP ammo.), and gives a feeding profile equivalent to a full metal jacketed round loaded to a considerable longer overall length. Kind of like having a FMJ round with the very tip cut off. In any case, it has fed flawlessly in the two dozen or so 9mm P handguns I've used it in, including 5 lugers of various types. It is my standard load that works in everything and is subperbly accurate.

You're absoutely correct though that a traditional round nose FMJ loaded to 1.12 inches won't feed reliably through a luger.
