.30 Luger ammo found!
 
I checked out about 15 ammo suppliers online for .30 Luger, all out of stock, but just found one with 8 boxes in stock! Pricy at $57.75 per box of 50. but I'll buy a box and save the brass.
Check out

At that price I have to think that it is Winchester ammo. That is std. price for it. Fiocchi 30 Luger ammo, when you can find it, sells for $20-24.00. Keep checking Able Ammo(sport) in Texas, as that is where I have purchased it in the past.

For sure keep the brass!!

You are correct! It is Winchester. You guys catch everything!

Yes, I bought some fiochi for around $25 shipped a few months ago?

A guy walked up to my Luger display at a gun show and offered to buy any .30 brass I had...

When I said all I had was what I was keeping he came back two more times asking me to sell it to him. Not sure what part of NO he didn't understand but ext time I will just start with that word... my bad.

This is probably pretty common knowledge on this site but I've had good success acquiring ammo through this site: http://ammoseek.com/

They search all available ammo sites and list it by price. Saves a lot of searching on the web.

I have had good luck with Fiocchi FMJ.

Fiocchi also makes a JSP (Jacketed Soft Point) in .30 Luger, and these also work just fine in mine. It's an other option when the FMJ is in short supply.

I was fortunate to get some surplus Sako .30 Luger from Finland. Good shooting and cheap. The only down side is it uses Berdan primers, not easily reloaded.

Humm, I always had problems with SP in my .30. Hung up going into the chamber and I assumed it was the lead point. Sounds like that is not the case with you. Maybe I should look at somethig else like the main spring or mag spring.

No trouble with the FMJ.

My DWM Luger doesn't care for the Fiocchi SP ammo at all, but is happy as a clam feeding my 93gr LRN reloads.....figure that one out!! My lead bullets must be a higher Brinell factor(harder alloy) than the JSP, and so they are acting more like a FMJ. The ogive may be part of the reason also.
