Hi:

Please search my name and find about four or so major threads on proper loads for the 4 inch barrel Lugers. These are not only highly functional loads , but one holers.

For me, with round nose bullets, 1.173 inches is the magic over all length that will make the pistol function. This, by the way, was the original length of the DWM ammo.

With medium slow powders, like Power Pistol and SR 4756, you will have good load density. Try to keep your finished rounds at or near 1,076 FPS (less than 1,100 fps) as, again, this was the speed of the late WWI "improved" DWM pistol ammo

Good shooting!!!
