German po8 Luger

7.65mm Luger, aka .30 Luger may still be found in some of the bigger gun stores or ordered online.
Gyvel, I suspect you meant 7.65 Parabellum.

AFAIK the only .30 Luger / 7.65 Para load that's consistently available from a major commercial maker is made by Fiocchi; it's an Italian company, hence the ammo is generally marked with the metric designation, although some of their boxes are evidently marked both ways. Speaking of which, both Fiocchi flavors are supposedly "Available" at Midway as I write this...

That said, as others have pointed out, this is one of those cartridges that tends to linger on local store shelves for a LOOONG time. Don't be surprised to find 20+ year old Remchester. ;)

Also, just as an aside, .30 Luger / 7.65 Para is actually somewhat of an oddball, as it actually uses neither a true .30-caliber (0.308", 7.62mm) nor a true .32-caliber (0.312", 7.65mm) bullet; it's usually loaded with a 0.309-0.310" or 7.63mm caliber bullet, so it's .31-caliber. :)
 
Wow! Midway's website is about the most user UNfriendly site I have ever seen. I did a search for ".30 Luger," "7.65 Luger." and "7.65 Parabellum," all of which showed "0" results. I finally tried looking under Fiocchi, and had to scroll through all the calibres. Then, when I wanted see what was in my cart, it wanted my email and a password. No thanks.
