Reloading help for the .30 cal.

I went to the range today with .86 grain bullets loaded at 3.8 and 4.1 of Bullseye. OAL was 1.158 +/- . Since I don't have a chronograph, I go by feel. Recoil was much less than Fiocchi factory ammo. They would not feed properly as they short stroked. I am going to increase the OAL to match the Fiocchi bullet and gradually increase the powder. I will keep you posted. Also I went to a gun show yesterday and they had a great deal of the Fiocchi ammo, so I was able to get ammo that does work great in my Luger.
