Hi:

Most modern factory rounds are too short to properly function in a Luger.

AOL is vital because of the steep angle of the Luger magazine. This is also why the magazine spring must be so strong.

If you don't have a way to properly measure OAL, RCBS sold me a little cheap caliper that I have been using for the last 27 years or so. You should consider buying one if you are going to be doing any real load development for the Luger.
