  • Uses small pistol primers

This is most likely what is meant when referring to “Starline .30 cases”

Important difference (common confusion)

There are several “.30” cases:

Type Explanation
.30 Mauser (7.63×25) Your product / classic pistol cartridge
7.62×25 Tokarev Very similar, but higher pressure
.30 Luger (7.65×21) Shorter and less powerful
.30-30 Winchester Rifle cartridge (completely different)

The Tokarev case looks very similar, but using the wrong load data can cause problems
