I start to get more feed jams when the COL hits the 1.165" range, which is close to spec for WW whitebox. Feeding was much better with Magtech ammo which is nominally 1.155" in their 115 FMJ offering. So I started loading to 1.155" I like the AA#7 because a double charge would overflow the case, thus being easier to detect in a progressive loader.

Hi,
German Army round nose ball was loaded between 1.169 and 1.173 inches. For best function in a Luger, with Meg-Gar magazines, these lengths will feed very trustworthily.
Those powder charges seem way too high to me, but i would have to shoot your actual loadings to verify this. If you are experiencing breach-block slam at these charge weights, you will eventually damage your very fine Luger.
Respectfully,
Sieger
