I sure do wish that I could help you out, but I have never used that bullet, or any of those powders. I have been using Alliant Red Dot, and Bullseye powders for my 30Luger reloads. I have to run them very near, or at the max loading to get 100% reliability of my 1920 DWM Luger.

I am trying a new bullet(to me). I got them from Western Bullet Company. They advertise it as a 30Luger bullet. It is out of Lyman mold #311227, and is sized to .309 in. It is a LRN, but does not have a cannalure/crimp groove for a roll crimp. I load it as long as I possibly can (1.150 +/- .005 in.). That is just barely above the last grease groove. Then by using a Lee FCD, which is a collet crimp die( bottle neck brass), it will produce a mild crimp into the superior part of the grease groove to help keep from getting bullet set-back when feeding up the feed ramp. I have only fired #25 of these, but the results were excellent in my gun. I ordered 1.5K more of them. I don't know if this info will help anyone, but there is so little info on reloading the 30Luger ammo, that I felt like it might help someone.
