I sure do wish that I could purchase the Fiocchi 92gr FMJ bullets here in the USA, but I have never seen them for sale here. They would be perfect for my handloads.

I'm thinking AA#7 powder might be about perfect for .30 Luger...I hope to find out one day. I don't really want to shoot my 1900 much, but I think a 6in .30 would be a great flat-shooting field gun. I had a beautiful 6 in 1930's Pacific Arms barrel flat out destroyed during installation on a P08 upper by a so-called Luger "gunsmith" who shall remain nameless.....I have one more 6 in .30 barrel to work with....I need to give G.T. a ring and see if he can help.

So you just run the 9mm cases through the 7.65 dies???

Got 'em!

Painful to read his posts, and they seem to stop in 2002 [ ]. I notice someone else 'redacted' their posts about that time... ...I do the same...

ESKO did pretty much the same thing I did with my 30 Mauser-to-.256 Mauser cartridge conversions. I'm not a fan of freeboring however.
