Reloading .30 Luger for my “No Matching Parts 1900”.

Someone asked about the diameter of the .32 S&W lead bullets I'm shooting. The Red coated 78 gr bullets are .313" diameter, the locally cast 82 gr bullets are .312 diameter. My Lyman Reloading books (I have both the 45th and 47th editions) indicate many of these pistols have large groove diameters. From a rest when I do my part right I can get a 1 1/2" groups at 25 yards. I would say I'm am in the ballpark on bullet size.
