I agree. In fact, my 6" .30 Franken-Luger you re-barreled for me is now my favorite shooter--partly because it's the one I get the best results with but also largely because I find it rather friendly and sweet to fire.

I've been accumulating brass in .30 Luger, buying Fiocchi ammo when I can find it for around $20 a box, finding brass on auction sites, etc. so I can reload this historic caliber, which is so very pleasant to shoot.
