Raphielle,

My guess it that the ammo is vintage. Sellier & Bellot makes a semi-jacketed lead soft point round in .30 Luger that is the closest modern ammo I've seen to this. I bought a thousand rounds online that was advertised as FMJ and was surprised when it arrived. Worried that it might be problematic, I expressed my concerns to the seller, but it fed and functioned just fine, and I've used it all up. If you can afford this caliber ammo, or gear up for reloading, it is a great round and sweet to shoot.
