.30 Luger Ammo

I agree that the Fiocchi .30 Luger (93 grs. FMJ) appears much weaker than other ammo.
I was lucky to get a hold of 300 rds. of M&F Thun (Swiss surplus of 1984). Great stuff, much more of a bang, but the pistol (SIG 210-4) hardly even jumps. Much more precise than the Fiocchi.
Downside: Berdan priming, and currently no more available on the German market. Hopefully the dealer will be able to secure another lot.
Funny: The cases AND bullets are lubed. I understand the Swiss got away from that in 1985.
