.30cal Luger cartridge

Thor, slugging barrels is pretty easy if you use pue lead, (or 99% or better)and a little oil or teflon spray. Push it through with a wooden dowel of course.

Back in the 1960's when I had my .30 Luger I used to like going to the range and getting the 357 mag shooters with lead bullets to do a penetration wager. The range I used back then had a rig to take 1/2 X 6 X 6 inch pine boards that they had a stack of. The rig held 12 boards and the .30 at the 10 ft shooting distance would do 11 or 12 with factory ammo (winchester and Remington back then). The 357 would not unless it also was jacketed. Wish I had never sold that old Luger.
