30 Luger?
I bought a box of BS at a gun/BS auction the other day and as alot of auctioneers do, they threw another small box in on it just to get it to go. I get home and find a zip-lock bag with a bunch of lead tipped pistol rounds. The bag said 30 Luger. I then noticed several of the cases have .38 Special headstamps, but had a slight tapered case. Several of these cases seemed to have been frankensteined with a nickel case over a brass headstamp. ??????????? Any clues?

Not saying this is the answer to your query, but check out this link in your voyage to figure out the rounds in the bag.
