Vihtavuori powder & 30 Luger

Hello Rhuff,

Thank you for your informations. It is allways interesting to exchange data when the available is few. The Haendler & Natermann (H&N) company makes lead and cupperised handgun and rifle bullets; their website is interesting. The 86 gr Round Nose High Speed .311 is especially made for .30 Luger in cupperised lead. They say that the lead is soft enough to adapt to all diameters and also soft enough to become "cannelured" when a taper crimp is made. With Starline or Winchester brass, I think it is not necessary to crimp; I left 2 dummy cartridges (1 SL and 1 Win) in the magazine and shot 30 rounds without any change in the cartridge overall length.
