"Recommended Lyman Length = 1.169"
More than 35 years ago I bought a rough-looking 1916 DWM Luger for $55 from a pawn shop in Tacoma, Washington. I was stationed at McChord AFB at the time and shot in the pistol club facility. I fired hundreds of rounds of Lyman 356402 mold cast bullets (120 grain, truncated cone) through that Luger and don't recall a single malfunction. I wasn't sophisticated enough in those days to worry about things like OAL..... I just loaded them with 6.0 grains of Unique and shot them. It was extremely reliable and I regret ever selling it.
