Well, it depends on a lot of factors, the condition of the pistol not being the least of it.
If you are uncertain, consult a good gun smith first and get the pistol checked before attempting to fire it. A P08 in a good technical state shouldn't have issues with standard 9x19 ammuntion. A slower burning powder is preferable, that is the type that the pistol was designed around. Most modern powders are fast burning variations, which provide a different pressure curve. Other than that, the OAL (Overall Average Length) of the round plays a role in reliable feeding.
Winchester 115gr 9x19 works well (100-round 'Valu-Pack'),
Sellier & Bellot 124gr and even the 145gr 'subsonic' work well.
I fired quite a lot of Fiocchi 7,65 para without problems also.
