I have had very good luck with the following:

Home cast Lee 124 grain TC (Lyman #2 alloy).
Rooster Jacket tumble lube
3.8 Grains Bullseye. ( a modest load, per Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook) New formula Bullseye is very clean burning and meters well.
Federal case, Winchester small pistol primer
C.O.L. 1.075" taper crimp
Perfect function in my mixmaster PO8. I color primers with a sharpie and this load does not scuff the ink upon firing. Primers are softly round with no pocket-filling or expansion. Cycling seems very gentle. No leading.

Hi,

Substitute only the Lyman 121 grain TC, at an O.A.L. of 29mm, and you will be most happy.

Respectfully,


Sieger

I've used thousands of the Lyman 121 grain TC bullet over the years. It is an excellent design and feeds beautifully through a Luger. Also, it's very accurate

In 1986, I won all three B class matches in an all Suffolk County, England, event. One of those matches was won with a CZ-75 using the Lyman TC bullet that I cast.

Now I find it a lot easier to use the 115 grain Berry's plated flat nose bullet. It has a larger meplat and is more like the original Luger bullet than the Lyman. They feed as reliably as the Lyman.
