What can you tell me about my Luger?

Just got notified by Sportsman's Guide that they have Fiocchi .30 Luger ammo in stock. Well, the FMJ anyway, not the soft points.

Also, I'm working up a batch of handloads with Hornady .30 Mauser bullets, 86 grain .308Φ. I noticed when I seated them to crimp the mouth of the case at the cannelure, it exceeds maximum cartridge OAL. I'm loading them with 5 grains of Unique. Anyone else have experience with this load? What cartridge length are you loading them to ensure smooth feeding? I might wait until UPS delivers my factory ammo and load them to that length.
