Are my loads safe for Luger use.

L-SWCs:
Favorite was the MasterBlaster .38 Super 115gn. Great bullet. Have not found a suitable replacement. COL 1.117".
Lee 358-105-SWC was quite fun. COL was 1.020". It seemed to do very well with LLA and 231/HP38.
Penn 115gn was OK. Did well with Unique. COL 1.025"
Had a Lyman SWC mold that threw 130gn bullets. Have no record of COL used and, last I looked, no one knew the mold number.
Missouri 125gn, when not shooting JHPS, is my favorite. Did best with Power Pistol, Silhouette and True Blue at 1.115"
COL, though, is VERY dependent on the chamber. Some of my guns have short throats, and would be loaded shorter--but I haven't used them much.
