<strong>Sieger; you are right concerning oal. I have found that 1.150 oal length works the best even when using hollow points, which I shoot almost exclusivly.

Twenty years ago, I had a pretty nice "Red 9" C-96, complete with stock. For some reason, I had a problem with the trigger reset function on it so I traded it off (a good trade at least).

A good 7.63, powerfully loaded, must be a lot of fun to shoot, especially with that stock attached. The C-96 is one tough pistol, but I do like the magazine of the Luger better.

For round nosed bullets in your 9mm, try an OAL of 1.175 inches.

The Hornady 115 and 124 gr. hollow points should shoot quite reliably at 1.15 inches, as they follow the original pattern of the DWM truncated cones quite closely.
