Finaly fround .30 Luger at Floride flea market

You are correct. I though the bullet looked a little to smooth and shiny to be lead, it had the look of lead. The round is quite hard, could not scratch it at all. wonder when these could have been made. Maybe the 30's as you suggested. Anyone need a round for their 9mm ammo collection, just send me a PM.

I agree with Bob(Sieger) that this is a well designed bullet. When you look at it, with using the cannalure as designed for crimping, one has an OAL that appears to be nice and long. Would you be able to measure the OAL of that cartridge? Most definitely has a significant bearing surface. Could you also measure the diameter of the bullet?.... .308, or .309in.

This is a great find by you, and a lot of fun trying to figure it all out. Thanks again.
