I didn't know that S&B made 30 Luger ammunition. As I said, I've been lucky in finding the 30 Luger locally for $25-27 a box of 50 (Fiocchi). I'd reload but I shoot at an indoor range and I've been saving as much brass as I can find (fired 50 so far and lost 12 of the casings).

Starline sells wonderful new brass in 30 Luger if you want to set up and reload the round. I have purchased a fair amount of their 30 Luger brass over the years.....great stuff!! You are certainly correct on losing a % of one's shot brass at indoor ranges. Try as I may, I never recover all of my shot brass. I don't mind losing the "normal" calibers, but hate to lose the expensive/hard to find brass.

I've been thinking about it since I already reload .45 Auto Rim to Webley levels with a Lee Loader but I want to get a Lee hand press and .455 Webley dies for a new Webley and maybe 7.63 Mauser and 7.65 Luger dies but one step at a time. I've been saving as much brass as possible but darn it I hate losing brass. I think I've been losing 1/3 of my brass at an indoor range (I don't much care for outdoor ranges). Might see about the dies once I balance the budget after this splurge.
