.30 Luger load, ....opinions wanted!

[G.T.]

Hi Guys! I've loaded tons of shotshells, but very few pistol rounds! So.... I'm asking our more experienced reloaders, shooters, to give me some info. into the .30 Luger round! I know that reloading can tune a particular load to a particular pistol for optimum accuracy...but that is not what I'm after... I want to load a round that is equal to a factory winchester load, in both velocity, and energy. Here are some of the parimeters... The brass is all factory primed winchester, I plan on using hornady 93 gr. bullets, or sierra 85 gr., as they are .308 dia. and I would not have to fiddle around with sizing and such...... If there are other good bullets available, I would certainly entertain using them, as the afore mentioned bullets seemed pretty expensive....also, what is the best overall length to load the .30 luger too? Any info. you guys can give me along these lines, would be greatly appreciated! Hughs loads were very interesting...gave me a lot of food for thought! Thanks, till...later...G.T. <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />
