Mr 16.. I have been thinking about the bullets available for the 30 Luger. There is one bullet that I had forgotten about that should work. One that i load a bit in the 30-30. The 100 gr plinker bullet from Speer..It is kind of a half jacket bullet that should work in the 30 Luger. Yep it's a bit heavier than factory ammo(93 gr??) but it will work. Velocities will of course be a bit lower and point of impact probably a bit higher..but you will be able to shoot the 30 Luger. There is also a way to lighten the bullet. I have a little tool for the 22 LR that you put the loaded round into it and file the nose off a bit. Should be pretty easy to rig something like that. Every Luger (in 9mm) shot round nose and flat pointed hollowpoints pretty well..so..check it out. For funsies..try the plinker in your 30-30 too. with about 9 gr of unique..it shoots just fine..very cheap...errr economically! BTW if you can't find the plinkers..let me know.. I do have a stash..
