Yes, but things have been so busy I haven't shot any yet. Looks good, sealed bullet and primer.

Interesting, I will have to check that out.

I received an email from Gerd Schön in Oberndorf, which contained the following news about >30 Luger ammo:

In the SWM, Swiss gun magacine 07/15 you can read a bout the new ammo in .30 Luger.

The Swiss RUAG is a big wheel in ammo. They have absorbed all famous brands, Norma, RWS, Hirtenberger and Thun.

Any of our European members have more info about this, or perhaps a synopsis/translation of this article for us monoglots here?

I got my order. I believe that mine is a '55 vintage. It looks good, and as David said, the bullet and primer are sealed at the factory, so it should be GTG. I have not fired any yet.
