hollow points in the luger

I've fired dozens of different JHP's, solid copper, etc out of my G date. All functioned flawlessly. Obviously when the gun is getting dirty it starts to have problems, but clean fires everything and anything.

I've found a round that duplicated the original 92gr Sintered Iron WWII Wehrmacht load. It's a solid copper expanding monoblock, 92gr by Fiocchi that will feed reliably in even a dirty luger due to it's profile. It's chrono'd 1271fps out of P08 and 1694fps out of MP40.

I wonder, do these come in .30 Luger, too? The weight is close to what we need...

If you could locate a solid copper monobloc 30 luger bullet, it would weight considerably less than a 93gr LRN or 93gr FMJ. By producing the bullet from solid copper and having no lead component to it, the weight would likely be ~78-80gr, perhaps less. It would be a screamer when loaded up hot!!!
