Maybe I haven't run any 124gn through a P-08 yet!
COL is dependent on the nose (ogive) length of the particular SWC, since in most cases you want the shoulder to just touch the lede/rifling/lands, so you need to always determine it for the individual chamber.
I just don't know. With good cast bullets, I get groups of 1-3" at 25 yards. With good jacketed bullets, I get groups of 1-3" at 25 yards. With the plated bullets I have bought to date, I get groups of 2-12" at 25 yards. Thus, I just don't have much faith in plated to do much more than put a hole in the paper.

As I noted, I have done no accuracy comparisons, and very new to Lugers, so thank you for the info.; I appreciate the input.

Any suggestions about vendors of cast bullets?
