.30 Mauser

Are you guys mixing dimensions and loadings? I believe I read where someone said the Borchardt cartridge was the same as the others? I think it would be best to say the cartridges are similar only dimensionally. I have c96 pistols ( duh) as well as a CZ52. I once had a Tokarev. Dimensionally they were similar and that's it. I would never fire ammo designed for the latter 2 in a C96. I've never been fortunate to own a Borchardt but 1) I'd never fire it 2) if I had to fire it for some reason I'd use a light c96 load.

When I first started loading 7,63 Mauser in the 1970s I first used the standard 85 grain jackets then permanently switched to a hard lead lubed bullet.
