shooting cast bullets in the Luger

My P-08s all feed 0.357-0.358" SWCs just fine. The COL is such that the shoulder just misses the lede/rifling. Chambers all seem more that large enough (OD) for the case to drop in. The only feeding problem I have ever had was a round stuck and action wouldn't close. When I get the round out, there was that darn ridge halfway around the case just above the extractor groove. Case must have had a slight bulge and the sizing die simply raised a ridge. I now run all my range pick-up through the Lee Bulge Buster and a Lee 9mm Mak FCD.
I am always reading about people who have tight chambers in their 9x19s that can't feed a 0.357-0.358" bullet. I would love to see one of these guns some day. Would love to try loading for such a gun.
