Slugged Barrel of 1925 DWM

[ptrickamp222]

What about 30 Cal luger hard cast lead Round Nose Level Base??????? 90 grain????? I shoot 125gr Truncated Flat point in my Browning Custom Mark III with no problems. Tightgroup powder. Novak Custom will shoot anything. The original bullets were round nose jacketed I believe so lead round nose should work. Just get the OAL correct...........The Hornady jacketed flat nose I think would be harder to get to shoot to find the right OAL.

Pat:

Here are two accuracy loads for the Luger (4 inch barrel) in 9mm, using the Hornady 124 gr. FMJ FP.

WW cases, Remingtron 1 1/2 primers, OAL of exactly 28.7mm

Power Pistol 5.4 grs.

SR4756 5.5 grs.

These shoot three shot groups, to one hole, at 25 yards for me (double hand held over a sand bag).

There's a cast bullet company you can locate on the web called "Pb Boolits" that offers a 90gr round nose cast listed as for .30 mauser in a nominal .308, but also offers it in .310 dia...it might work for you....it looks like they make quality stuff in a zillion shapes and calibers....just ordered some .320 cast for my Nambu.... their address is www.unobtainamite.com

Thanks for the info. I have a 1000 of the 309+ coming but the . 310 maybe the trick. Thanks again!!!!

Hard cast lead bullets are usually more accurate if they are slightly over bore size. If your bore is .3095, then the .310 bullets would be ideal

I found another place to get bullets custom made. Any size but they are alot more per bullet. the last 1000 of the .3095 were 6.5 cents apiece. That's what I am usually used to paying. These are around 24 cents apiece per 100. No matter how many you buy. I just got in my winchester brass today. Will get back into reloading. Haven't for a couple years because of life occurs and sometimes gets in the way. So I purchased all new powder for the 45, 9mm and now the new 30 Cal. Will shoot these and see how they shoot and what the barrel looks like. May have to pay the extra to get the .3105's for a better group and looking barrel.
