Also, either lead or FMJ bullets, up to .311 diameter, work in my 1920 Commercial just fine; so feel free to try some larger diameter ones. This should increase you selection as well.
For powder, I'd give the medium/slow burners a try for accuracy, Power Pistol and HS-6 come to mind. Also, most of the commercial loading data out there is too light to even function a Luger, so be aware of this.
Just some thoughts. PM me if you would like.

I will add to that. There is no "general rule" that can fit any Luger. They are old, they are not all in the same condition, springs are different in every gun. Barrel insides are also different. There is no "one receipe" fits all. Don't ask me why I know that.
