Default 9mm ammo question

I'm having a hard time finding the 30 luger in 115 or 124 gr. Does anybody know where it is sold?

Seems to be pretty scarce right now, almost nonexistent. Been looking for 30 Luger also but keep looking some will turn up.

30 luger has never been made in 115 or 124 grain. Typically around 95 grain or so.

What Doug said.

You'll have as much luck finding it as one of Ray Comfort's "Crockoducks."

Currently, reloaders make do with anything close in diameter and/or weight to the .30 Luger's specified projectile, and adjust their loads accordingly. G.T. has some of the exact bullet from Switzerland...unless he's out.

I moved your posting to your own thread. It is best if you have a different question, to post it on your own (30 luger vs 9mm luger)

The most common .30 aka 7.65 is 93 grain and I buy mine from antique firearm auctions.
