9mm brass to .30 luger? (7.65 parabellum)

[nickorette]

I read somewhere that the 9mm is nothing more than a .30 luger with a larger bullet. Is there some way to re-size a 9mm casing into a .30 luger casing?

I think the 30 Luger is quite a bit longer. maybe another case, like 9x25 or 38 ACP might work.

You can get the .30 Luger brass from Starline.

Nope, 9mm Luger is to short. .38 Super would work, but you need to remove the rim, and the case wall needs to be thinned out.

It would be easier just to buy .30 luger cases. It's not a cheap proposition, but the reward is in shooting a very accurate round.

What did you buy that uses that round?

.30 Mauser/7.62x25 is longer, should be possible to resize and trim. .223 is a bit smaller in diameter at the head, although whether this would pose a problem, I can't say.
