Thanks BB !

I recently picked up a 30 cal "Baby" . I've got a couple boxes of older Win commercial ammo . I kinda figured this Samco was probably the best buy at present . I'll give it a try .

Is it round nose or flat point ?

Thanks again .

Guy...it's flat point.

The Finish surplus LAPUA .30 Luger I have is round nose.

I'm going to order it . I'll report back on configuration .

Thanks guys !

Be nice to now the velocity it produces.

I also have the technical drawing for the case, bullet and assembled cartridge. If anyone would like copies e-mail me.

Thank you . I'm waiting on the ammo at present . I'll report back . :)

see my string under Commercial Lugers topic, ".30 ammo from finland" dated 01-18-2004. where you can buy.

Thanks very much ! I'll check it out .

I bought 250 rds from Samco . Some of the casings are tarnished , but it's only cosmetic . Fired 50 rds last week after our 21" snow . I couldn't check for accuracy , but all fired flawlessly . It works from my DWM Commercial and from my "Baby" . ( Baby didn't like Winchester) Seemed a bit anemic ?

I'll buy more .
