Thanks Jeff,
That does help. I won't screw up your case.

I'm one of the guys who has had good results with Fiocchi black box but 93g JSP not ball.

Headed to the range today with two .30 lugers and five kinds/brands of ammo. I'll see
how these shake out.

All this may have more to do with pistol/mag combination than ammo.

But I have first hand knowledge of at least one .30 Comm. that belonged to me, that worked fine with the Fiocchi soft point mentioned above, but when sold to another guy who had Fiocchi black box ball, it would not function except as single shot! Got it back and it still worked fine with my JSP ammo. What a mystery to un-ravel.

Thanks again for your posts.

Here is my contribution...Two boxes, gray w/brown rectangle (shown next to a tan box of 5.56mm for color comparison), bought from Midway just before the ammunition ban [2013?].

There are no numbers inside or outside the boxes other than the barcode number. Nothing on the end flap, inside or out; nothing on the inside body.

I have not fired any from a Luger; they were for chamber size/fit testing & headspacing 7.65 Parabellum in a Star BM, a Colt Gov't Model, and a Walther P1.

Green lacquer primer sealer; OAL is ~1.124"; cannelure crimped.
