Thanks BB !

I recently picked up a 30 cal "Baby" . I've got a couple boxes of older Win commercial ammo . I kinda figured this Samco was probably the best buy at present . I'll give it a try .

Is it round nose or flat point ?

Thanks again .

Guy...it's flat point.

see my string under Commercial Lugers topic, ".30 ammo from finland" dated 01-18-2004. where you can buy.

guy sajer · 10-22-2004, 02:04 PM

Thanks very much ! I'll check it out .

I bought 250 rds from Samco . Some of the casings are tarnished , but it's only cosmetic . Fired 50 rds last week after our 21" snow . I couldn't check for accuracy , but all fired flawlessly . It works from my DWM Commercial and from my "Baby" . ( Baby didn't like Winchester) Seemed a bit anemic ?

I'll buy more .
