Ummmm??? It's exactly something I would do (and have done), but why are you buying ammunition
before you buy a Luger???

30 Luger (also called 7.65 Parabellum) ammunition manufacturers are somewhat scarce these days. Fiocchi seems to be the most common, Winchester the most expensive. Anything labeled 'Target' is desirable; +P or NATO is too powerful (as a rough guide). Reloading is quite popular; RCBS makes an inexpensive 'kit' for newcomers to the art. FWIW, there's a thread on this Forum on making 30 Luger brass out of .223 Remington [rifle] cartridge cases, which may be useful. As for basic reloading 'tutorials', I don't know of any offhand (I reloaded before there was an Internet) but I'm sure there must be...There's dozens for everything else...
