Reloading the 30 luger

K.Wilhelm · 09-07-2018, 12:06 PM

I just put the calipers to one of GT's 93 grain (Swiss) bullets that I really like and which work well in both of my commercials and a Ruger P89 (.30 Luger barrel). It comes out to .308. The load I use for it is a medium charge of HP-38 (same as W231).

Karl,

You and I either have different calipers, or different bullets....perhaps both. I have a fair amount of the Swiss 92gr. FMJ bullets from GT, and all of mine measure .309-.3095in. They are great bullets, and are my favorites for loading in 30 Luger brass. I have had my best results with using Unique powder.
