I've acquired some .30 luger over the last 6 months with the intention of running some though my new Mauser and some on a very limited basis though my Swiss lugers. I went shopping for price and got the following : 250 rnds of Finnish Lapua 93 gr, 200 rnds of Winchester 93 gr. and 200 new Winchester brass.

I'm setting up a new reloading area and will be using the new brass and the (soon to be) used brass on a Dillon 550. I've avoided Fiocchi as I've heard the walls are too thin to re-crimp. Any one else have any comment on that? Also, any thoughts on the suitability/non-suitability of the ammo I have on hand for new or collector guns.

Last, the only reloading data I've found is in the Lyman manual. I want to stay with the 93 gr FMJ. As with reloading I've done in the past for collector guns, I plan to stick with the suggested starting grains (in either Bullseye or Unique - the two powders I'm most familiar with).

Any thoughts or suggestions, experiences etc. would be appreciated & welcome.

Thanks, Bob
