Schutzenbob,

To eliminate those jams, try those flat points at an O.A.L. of 1.14 inches.

Also, please read my sticky, in this reloading section, on "Determining Proper Cartridge O.A.L.". This should help your understanding of the absolute necessity of proper O.A.L. requirements when Luger shooting, as improper O.A.L.s equals a jamming Luger.

Latter up your charges, with three shot groups, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 etc., until either maximum accuracy is obtained or you "outrun your springs". Accuracy will drop off and jamming will start, again, when this happens.

I'm glad that WSF is clean burning in a pistol, as 800X fired like coal soot in my Luger.

Please keep me up to date with your progress.
