Sorry to disagree, but I believe that these particular hollow point bullets are not well liked by my Luger. (Or my friend's Luger) They are Hornady XTP. This has a flat point jacketed hollow point. I loaded them to 1.166 OAL when the manuals say 1.175 is max. for OAL. I have some .86 grain bullets coming from Midway that measure .308 and some .93 grain from Western that measure .309. I am looking forward to finally having the correct bullet to load and am sure I will be successful here. And finally to rhuf--how about sharing your load data--powder type and amount of grains for those bullets you get from Western? It sure might make my life a bit easier. Thanks to all for the help.
