Ok , I have had a look into this now . Of course my learned companions are correct . According to "cartridges of the world" .30 luger is 7.62 x 21mm.

Using a .308 to .309 bullet .

I was in luck as my local dealer was sitting on 100 cases , once fired , de capped and polished for $20 . so I snavelled them . also bought 100 projectiles 85grain soft points made by one of our local manufacturers "taipan" . Apparently we shoud be able to push them along at about 1100 FPS - quite respectable . Unusual headstamp on the cases
GFL parrabellum 7.65 !?

Now all I need is a nice .30 luger to shoot them in ? anybody ?
