I'm finding very little load data for bullets actually designated for the .30 Luger. I have a High Power/Benelli M-80 & a 1920 commercial luger all chambered in .30 Luger. Trying to reload this cartridge has it's challenges with the correct or appropriate bullet/projectile.. Any recommendations would be grateful.

Challenge accepted! Cataloged by Ideal (and later Lyman) from 1904 until 1957, and weighing in at a listed 89 grains, it's known as No.308244. Although not commonly encountered, they ARE out there... This one has worked for me, sized to 0.311, in a 7.65mm Luger 1920 Commercial and a 7.63mm Mauser C-96.

Your FIRST post asked for load data?
With "requests" like those,
How about you search and find the darn bullet?

I've been working to find a working load for the 30 Luger. I use an 87 grain lyman cast bullet. I've worked up to the max load from several reasonable powders with no success. Recently, I notice an article in an old Reloaders Digest that stated that the 30 Luger spring needed to be lighter than the 9mm (less recoil from the lighter bullet). I have finally gotten the new spring installed. Hope it works.
