Lapua .30 Luger ammunition

Hi,

The Sako and Lapua ammo is excellent, though the over all lengths of the cartridges are way too short for reliable function in a Luger. Proper O.A.L. is 1.173 inches.

I ordered about 500 rounds of this stuff, from Samco of Miami, Florida, years ago. It shoots great and is very clean.

Other than the aforementioned O.A.L. problem, I'd recommend it for target shooting without question.

I've shot both in my .30's, and they shoot excellent! They are hotter than Fiocchi and function well. Samco's .30 is 1879-81 vintage.

I believe the 81 means 1981 Mfg. Pic courtesy of A1Ammo.
