I would like to reload 30 luger ammo unfortunetly where I live or maybe in all of Canada I cannot seem to find dies or any other Info on how to load this ammo. Any Information would be appreciated. Even if you know some where I can get it factory loaded.
 
Lee makes .30 Luger dies which should be available from any Lee dealer--Try Higginsons or Wholesale sports. Winchester kicks out a batch of ammo from time to time and you can usually find it at gunshows. If you cant find it, cases can be made from .30 mauser cases or from 9 x21 or 9x23 brass. Proper weight bullets are sometimes hard to find--I used to mostly use cast bullets.

Both RCBS and Redding make the dies. Likely a special order though. A Yahoo net search turns up over 4,000 sites with load data. My old Lyman book has data too. 85 and 93 grain jacketed and 84 and 93 grain cast, using Bullseye, Red Dot and Unique powders. Let me know what bullet weight and I'll send it to you.
 
Thanx for the info. I am not home right now so I cant look to see what grain it was. However if memory serves me right it is 93 grain. I found 2 boxes in my local city and that was it. He also told me if I wanted the dies they would have to be custom made in the states and shipped to me at avery high cost.
