What is the influence of overal length?

Some Luger magazines are very sensitive to over all length (OAL) of the loaded round... They can't be too long, or too short.

P.38 magazines, on the other hand, often will sometimes feed even empty cases... go figure!

John:

Both of my P-38s will feed only ball ammo with any type of reliability. Hollow Points or Truncated Cone bullets jam constantly and consistantly.
