Interesting gun. Fun to shot in 30 Luger. We used it to fire some 30 Luger handloads we found at at a gun show. The reloader used a M1 carbine bullet. They worked fine.Wouldn't try those rounds in in a real Luger!
That 220 is built like a panzer and very accurate.
I think it would be good choice if you wanted to try different loadings and bullets for 30 Luger reloading.

I reload for many different calibers, and have an ample supply of 110gr .308 in JSP bullets for a M1 Carbine. I have been so tempted to try them in 30Luger brass, but just not comfortable loading and shooting them in my 1921 DWM. Perhaps after I get my BarSto barrels for my Colt Defender, and Browning Hi Power(please come soon....I am soooo ready for them), I will be more inclined to give it a try.

As I stated in another thread, I have found a source for a nice 93gr LRN bullet at a reasonable price, and nice folks to deal with also.


I have a very well equipped workshop, but I know that I have nowhere near the machining skills to produce the barrels that I want. When I pull the trigger on either the Defender, or BHP, I want to know that Irv from BarSto built the barrels. I have grown very fond of my hands, face, and pistols.
