WTB: .30 Luger brass and reloading dies (FL)

spacecoast · October 1, 2014, 08:53 AM

I have an alphabet commercial Luger (.30 Luger) that I would like to start shooting more. I reload other calibers, but need some brass, the correct dies, and bullets if you have them. All my other stuff is Lee, I guess I would prefer that since it's familiar, but would consider others.

I have all the components in [ HUGE!] quantity and have no 7.65MM LUGER pistol.
Were it not for the 7.65MM P210-5 in the vault I'd dump em all.

Wil -

If you're willing to part with any of them, let me know. I'm looking for about 200 pieces of brass and 500 bullets to get started.

Thanks,
spacecoast

Try Star Line Brass Co.
I think they gave new brass in the cal.

OK, I received 500 bullets (93 grain FMJ), brass and new RCBS dies. I have Titegroup, AA#2 and Bullseye. The closest load info I can find is 4.1 to 4.5 grains of AA#2 for a velocity range of 1106 to 1257fps (90 grain Hornady XTP), which tells me that about 4 grains is a reasonable starting point.

Any favorite loads with these powders and this bullet? I'll be shooting these from a 1920s Commercial Luger, 3-5/8" barrel. Obviously I'd like to take it easy on the gun if possible, but ensure proper cycling as well. I have about 40 rounds of factory Western ammo to use as well, so I'll probably make up about a dozen test rounds.
