What can you tell me about my Luger?

[rhuff]

I have the same information from Bob Shell's blog. I have always wondered about trying the .308in M1 carbine 110gr bullet in the 30 Luger brass. I have a lot of the carbine bullets(own a couple of carbines), but have never tried to work up any loads. I suppose if one were to take Bob's info and try to sneak up on a load with Unique, a successful combo could be reached.

I am a bit concerned about this info, since Bob considers the 4.5gr of Unique a soft load with the 110gr bullet, when Lymans show 5.1 gr of Unique a Max load with a 96gr FMJ bullet. One would need to walk a fine line here, I think.


I seat and crimp in separate steps on my press. The Lee Factory Crimp Die is a collet crimp die (used on all bottleneck brass), and not a roll or taper crimp die. It does not really matter about length variation of the brass with this crimp die.
