Reloading help for the .30 cal.

I did find a loading for 4.5 grains of Bullseye with an .85 grain jacketed bullet. This was the max load. These newer manuals usually show lighter loadings then the older manuals. As far as the firing pin/striker, I haven't looked at in a long time and don't know what a "fluted" one should look like. When I replaced one in a friend's gun the new one (not original) looked the same as mine. I will probably try some of the .93 grain lead bullets in my gun and have found a loading of 4.2 grains of Bullseye for this bullet. (new Lyman manual) I probably will only load a few and then put the gun away as it has a great deal of sentimental value for me. The factory .93 grain Fiocchi are quite stout, but Lugers don't work with light loads.
