Hi,

You might be lucky and find out it is chambered for somehting like the 7.63 Mauser which quite a bit longer than the 30 Luger. I am not a reloader but I am sure someone on the forum could give you the accurate dimensions of the two.

I once saw a gunsmith pour molten sulpur down the muzzle of a rifle with the bolt closed. When it cooled he extracted the pretty good replica of the cartridge. I remember it was a French cartridge, 8mm Lebel.

There maybe some other resins that would do that job today, as that was some 70 - 75 years ago. Good luck.
