30 Luger bullet weight

Print Post  
Gunbrokered a Stevens 44 in 30 Luger.  Can't find rifle loads, just 100 grain handgun loads.  I have a 100 grain mould but am wondering how heavy a bullet can be safely loaded.  I have moulds from 100 to 210+ grains but am hesitant to experiment without advice.  I know this Stevens is a weak action and maybe I can't get in trouble with the small case.
I will also be asking opinions about the rifle itself in the Collecting forum, soon as I get pictures.

It may be a small case but operates at high pressure. Would make me very nervous in a 44.

AA manual shows the SAAMI spec for the factory 30 Luger round to be the same as for the 25-20 WCF, both at 28,000 CUP max.

Very nervous. With a heavy rifle bullet, Barney Fife nervous.   Shocked

With a heavy rifle bullet, how about "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" nervous.    Lips Sealed

Seems to be a consensus.  The only load used so far has been the 100 grain Lee with 4.4 grains Unique, won't go any heavier with bullet or powder.
Many thanks for the responses.

I'd check under the forearm to see if it stamped H. Farkenparker. You then know what to do. Sleeve it to .22 short and test it with a looonnnng string attached to the trigger.  Cry
