Some folks(like me) have Alphabet Lugers that don't like the Fiocchi JSP ammo, but play well with the Fiocchi FMJ rounds. The Winchester/Western ammo is out there, but at least 2X as expensive as the Fiocchi.

I am a handloader for the 30Luger round, and have not needed to add "extra grains" of powder. I load my rounds to where they will cycle the toggle train reliably, and stop there. These parts are nearly 100 years old, and I see no need to stress them unnecessarily.

I enjoy shooting the 30 Luger round, and it is available when ammo amounts are normal(non-panic). It is a bit more expensive that the old standby 9mm.
