Several years ago I was beating my head against the wall trying to get a load to work in the Luger using cast bullets. I used a lot of different combos but none worked, always feeding issues. Looking back now I seem to recall that they all used 125 gr. bullets.

Missouri Bullet Co. now offers a 115 gr. round nose 9mm "Parabellum" bullet, and using 5.6 grains of Unique, and setting OAL to 1.115", they seem to work very nicely. The leading in the barrel seems minimal. It is a fast, full power load and all the Lugers, 4", Navy, and Artillery, all function correctly with it.

They also feed well in my repro. snail drum.
