I have not tried any of the mentioned bullets, but am very interested in hearing any results that you might achieve. I sent an Email to Handloader Magazine asking for an new article in their magazine on loadings for the 30Luger. I don't know if it will lead to anything, but I had to try.

I have only, so far, loaded my 30 Luger brass with the Hornady 86gr, and the Sierra 86gr jacketed bullets. They seem to work well. I have been using Red Dot, as I believe that a fast powder works well in small cases....others disagree. My ammo will cycle my '21 DWM with a 4in bbl. I keep looking for a good SAFE loading utilizing the 110gr JSP bullet for the M1 Carbine, as I own a "lot" of them. I haven't found anything yet.

Let us know what you find out. I am waiting(3-4 months) for BarSto to make me 2 barrels in 30 Luger for a BHP and Colt Defender. That should be a lot of fun if I can get everything to work like I want it to.
