Hi Again:

As Alfred Hitchcock use to say, "now a word from our sponsor".

Johnny, OAL is most important for the proper fuction of a Luger; because the cartridges ride up the front and rear of the magazine, not just straight up like in a 1911 or a P-38.

At this short length, the noses of the bullets are probably slanted downward and will, eventually, jam the pistol.

You may wish to try some at 1.175 to see if the cartridges ride up nice and evenly.
