DWM 1920's commercial (i think)

[Krisgolden2007]

I'll try later tonight to get my wife to take some better pictures so you guys can see the finish. The pictures I took don't do justice. I'll admit they suck! Lol. I want to say thank you to everyone who's welcomed me so far and have gave me info ! I guess I did leave out one question. I've found brass and bullets (86gr hornady sp rn) but I can't find load data any where. I have bullseye and unique power (can buy different if needed) but a starting gr and max weight would be great to find. I'm a very cautious reloaded and don't like venturing down any roads with out a start!!! Been doing slot of surfing the web for loads but not many places have info on that caliber let slowness that bullet.

Thanks again everyone

Kris- I have a .30 Commercial near your production era with about 85% blue and a real nice bore. I also handload for it with HP-38 powder which works fine for me; but a gentleman on this forum from whom I've learned a lot about Lugers uses Red Dot. I'm going to refer you to reloading manuals for exact charges becuse everyone's pistol is different. Welcome to the addiction! Bill

Hi Chris, welcome to the forum and here is some information that may be helpful if you want to reload for the 30 Luger:

My handload for the 100 grain Plinker is 4.4 grains Bullseye and the CCI #500 primer in the Winchester case. Chrono'd velocity is a mild 1084 fps. It pretty much shoots to point of aim with the fixed sights and has never failed to function in any way. In a strong pistol like the HP this bullet could be driven somewhat faster if desired. Another 100 fps is possible if you want to try and duplicate the DWM load.

This is not my personal information but from another reloader that I found on Google.com.
