30 Luger ammo source
 

Seaking a good source for Fiocchi 30 Luger ammo, or some other mild load suitable for a model 1900 Luger with leaf type mainspring. The best source I have found online for Fiocchi is close to $20. a box. I am gratefull for any advise. KFS

It is not Fiochi but this is a copy of an old post of mine about the source that I have found.

I found a supplier of .30 Luger ammunition that works flawlessly in my 1906 and 1970's Mauser Parabelum. The loader opperates under the name of Circled Wagons' Ammo. His name is Richard Specht. E-Mail: ammoman2@msn.com

They are 95gr TMJ/RN and the box says they are loaded to 1330 FPS. He showed me the .30 barrel that he had made for a Glock to use as a test gun so I would think that is the velocity from a short barrel.

They may be a bit too hot for a leaf spring. I do not have any financial stake, only a customer. He loads for many odd calibers.

The last batch that I bought was $85.00/250 which works out to $17.00/50

I know the luger was of course made for fmj ammo but has anyone had experience with the fiocchi jsp as far as function?

Hi Dean,
I have had 3or4 .30 Lugers over the years. I handloaded for them using Hornady XTP hollow points. Never had a malfunction. That's the beauty of the .30 Luger. The bottleneck cartridge is very reliable.

Is all Fiocchi Berdan?

Dean... .30 JSP works fine in my Alphabit.

I just ordered some Fiocchi from outdoorsuperstore. Seems like a really good price. Very reasonable shipping too.
