So I did some research and got a loading die set from CH tool and die, and they recommended using 30 super carry cases and resizing them for 7.65 mannlicher. So that’s neat, and saves me a little money lol.

Who’s dumb enough to shop ammo at your local gun stores anyway? Buy that shit online like you’re supposed to do.

Until a pistol is designed from the ground up for .30 SC instead of just being a converted 9, a lot of potential is left unrealized in my opinion. I think an untapped advantage of .30 SC is in enabling double stack, dual feed handgun magazines, similar to that of the Five Seven. The lack of taper would make loading easier, make the magazine simpler to build and arguably more reliable, and add 1 to 2 more rounds over a double stack single feed mag. Making such a magazine out of steel would probably allow it to be thinner than a Glock 43 mag, enabling the design of a very slim high capacity pistol. Think P365XL but narrower and with 15 or 16 rounds instead of 12. The higher pressure and smaller bore diameter of .30 SC would also make compensators more effective for those who want to go that route

I agree with the potential of the cartridge, and I bought one right after it came out, but then I traded it back in again. The round is fine but having a whopping 2 guns that shoot it, one single stack and one subcompact, really takes my enthusiasm away. It's begging for a double stack possibly double feed full sized pistol, and I'd love a nice PCC/PDW style weapon to go along with it. I don't think it's meant to be though, unfortunately, it'll die on the vine similarly to my dreams of a modern and available double stack 7.62x25 handgun.

I bought 500 of each. It's a nice carry gun, fits 10 in the mag instead of 8 rds that the 9mm offered.

I really like my Shield in .30 SC. It holds 16, and is still fairly compact.

I think 30 super carry is such an interesting cartridge and I really wish Sig would make a P365 in it. I think if Sig did that 30 super carry would become a big player in the conceal carry market. Or at least a bigger player. And the hate for 30 super carry is something that I find super odd, why wouldn't you want more rounds for about the same power? It's the whole reason why people don't carry the 45. 9mm is smaller, lighter, and generally doesn't put as much force down range, and definitely doesn't has the energy transfer like 45 does at the same foot pounds of energy. Having a P365 Macro with a +20 rounds of 30 super carry would be really cool. And I think that's where the 30 super carry could have a real following. Speaking of lighter recoiling rounds, I'd love to find a company who could turn me out a 22 TCM barrel for a P365, I'd be limited to the 22 TCM 9R bullets, but throwing a 39gr pill down range at about 2000fps would be really cool. Plus, 22 TCM is as cheap as 9mm (when you buy from the manufacturer online anyway.) One can dream. One can dream.

IMHO .30 super carry is too loud, especially out of short barrels.

The concept of cutting a 5.8x28mm case at the bottle neck was explored in the early 2000's with the 7mm Penna. A few pistols were made in that caliber but there is hardly any information about the real world performance of the round.

It makes me wonder what kind of wild thing Keltec would make from this.

Mark was late to hear about 30 Super Carry because he's productively engaged in the shop making stuff instead of haunting gunny KZread and gun forums. The S&W doesn't do anything for me. I'll wait for Springfield to make a 30 Super Carry with GRIP ZONE on the grip so I know where to hold it. Another caliber isn't a negative. It's an excuse to reload another cartridge! Bonus if I can cast lead bullets and powder coat them. 11:20 - Speaking of reloading, wildcatting the 5.7 into a straight wall high pressure 7mm would be fairly awesome.

Yeah it's handy to have multiple guns using one cartridge but like you said I'm not supplying an army so having a couple extra boxes in my ammo closet isn't a big deal. Makes range day lighter though, stuff my 357 revolver and my 357 lever gun in the trunk with one can of 357 ammo and I'm done. Probably not as helpful as it'd be to have the right round for the right job though.

Maybe keep the projectile weights the same but hotrod it to 120 foot pounds of energy or so?

How would your 7mm work with spitzers? For carbine use.

Hey mark. Just lettin ya know I’d be more than happy to lessen the clutter from all the ammo! 😭 I need some rounds for an old straight pull styer, a mint cond. mas 36 and than I’ve only got one round of 7.62x54 rimmed for my nagants (one full and one carbine length).. Havnt been able to shoot any of my old man’s guns since he passed besides one of his old Turkish Mausers. Ha. Keep up the videos man! And keep up that “outside of the box” mindset! ✌️

idk how many people carry an extra mag for their daily carry pistol, so having an extra 2 rounds sounds like a great deal if no ballistic performance is lost, but did you get good ,consistent performance from the ammo?

If your gun holds 15 rounds you'll probably never need to reload it if you actually had to draw and shoot, but a lot of people like that added little bit of peace of mind, and just one reload in itself isn't very obtrusive.

I'm a big fan of 30 Super Carry, but being worried that it won't be around long I bought a case of Blazer ammo, some dies and a stockpile of pulled 100gr FMJ and JHP. I do hope Glock adopts it, which would make it easier to build an AR-15 chambered for it that has magazines available. I also have a Winchester 1892 chambered in .25-20 that a serial number decoder said was from 1893/1894. I have a complete box of Remington ammo from the 1950's. I inherited it from my grandfather, who acquired it in trade for a load of hay. It is the only gun I own that I have never fired and likely never will.

How does the recoil feel on the 30 super carry compared to the 9mm? And for your new bullet design you can use the 7mm mauser bullets might fit into that case you are making

It's an answer to a question I never had.

You got me interested in your 5.7 project. I've been interested in something akin to a 25 magnum cartridge but nothing like that exists. Something designed for a hand gun but would be fun to have in a rifle too.

@@GunFunZS I would think that the smaller 30 super carry cartridge and the ability to carry more rounds verses 300 would be relevant. Especially in regards to a sub gun. 300 blk is an intermediate round and twice the size and weight of the 30 super.

Step it up Mark. The ballistic data I've seen seems to say that 30SC out of a 12 inch barrel is almost 30 carbine power. I've got a small collection of calibers in both pistol and rifle (or smg style) and would love to add 30SC to the collection. The only company making a 30SC rifle that I know of is Hi-point. So Mark, take the next step, build us a 30SC carbine or smg! Please??!

Regarding the "high" operating pressure, I've read that headspacing the case off the mouth and high pressure were to be avoided. Any thoughts on why, and why that's not an issue with 30 Super?

I don't know if it's going to be .30 Super Carry or .277 Fury that catch on as the next big things, but I'm glad people are attempting to innovate in the cartridge design space, achieving the pressures that can be pushed with modern metallurgy and CAD, as opposed to applying innovations in powder and projectile design to century old form factors. And a little PDW in .30 Super Carry would be the cat's pajamas. I'm no engineer but I imagine you'd have all kinds of pressure to operate a little piston like in an MPX, as well as pressure to make a compensator very effective. A CZ Skorpion form factor would be super cool too, but I'm afraid the cartridge would too much for simple blowback.

I really like my first generation S&W Shield 9mm, it makes a great front pocket carry gun, reliable and shoots well. I liked it so much I bought a Shield Plus 9mm. But the magazine catch/release is slightly different, causing my thumb to inadvertently press the magazine catch which of course causes failures. I need to change to a thumbs up grip or install a different magazine catch. I considered the 30 Super Carry, and like it's ballistics as compared to 9mm but decided not to add another caliber.

The only thing stopping me from getting a .30 super carry pistol is the lack of carry options. I do not like the S&W Shield, and Glock seems to be sleeping on this round

Years ago I invented another class of pistol. The "Dress up gun". Small, very light weight and pocket carry. It is good for social occasions and lounging around the house. It was a .380 ACP but I always wanted one in 9mm, but a 9mm gun was much bigger for some reason. 30 super carry could be the solution. Thanks Mark!

Totaling 17 rounds of 200+ grain 45acp to stop the firefight. He now carries over 140 rounds of 9mm... Just in case.

Question.did you ever look at 7.62x25 tokarev?how would it compared to .30 super carry? I hear the tok round is very spicey

It is an old design. Back in the 60s there was an M-1 Carbine Short round. The .30 Super is almost a clone of that (but in a newer pistol). Then of course there was the .French .32 Long submachine gun round. Prior examples aside, observations reveal that large calibers do a better job of quickly draining an opponents radiator than do the holes made by smaller calibers.

@@jcraigshelton I didn't say .30 Carbine, I said .30 Short carbine. Slightly less power and shorter. Dates back to the early 60s. About 5 or 6 months of prodcution then dropped (couldn't compete in price with the volume sales of surplus full size Carbine ammo). That said, Ruger Blackhawks were available (for unknown reason) in a .30 carbine version for awhile.

If other manufacturers would come out with other models as in ex. A ruger .380 max in .30, I would be all over it. Ian Mc Collum made a few vids about this caliber, an it was reported that it was about 15% less powerful than a 9mm, but more powerful than a .380. But cost being a consideration, its more price wise than 9mm. God willing, more manufacturers will get on this bandwagon, an ammo manufacturers will come down in price on the ammo. Thx for the vid Mark

32 cal was a Gentleman's vest gun Can Serbu make a dual barrel 30sc?

Mark, it makes me so happy to hear about your 5.7 idea. I too had the idea to chop a 5.7 case at the neck and use a 25acp bullet. Alas, I don’t have the means to make it happen. If you do get that project running I’d love to see the product!

Mark, what about necking down the cut 5.7 brass, to .25 caliber? Unless you're completely set on keeping it straight walled

I was very interested in 30SC when it first came out but it never really caught on.

Would the straight case 7mm be using a P90 like mag?

Usually the smaller caliber rifle cartridge weapons like that 20-25 rifle were sold for varmint hunting where your target is small and at a fairly long range away in fact the .223 Winchester is a varmint round originally before the military adopted it for its low recoil as the 5.56 mm M-16 cartridge. The low bullet weight offers the advantages of low recoil and the higher velocity gets the bullet to the target quicker allowing less bullet drop and time for the animal to react also like when you fire at a deer with a bow often times the deer ducks or jumps out of the flight path of the arrow high velocity projectiles don't allow this phenomena to occur.

I personally think the single event that would seal the .30 Super Carry’s fate as a success is if the P365 would be chambered in it. The ammo is currently at ~37 cents per round on Ammoseek, but I saw it get as low as ~30 cents per round last summer. The issue definitely isn’t production volumes. There just isn’t enough of a variety of subcompacts chambered in it. And maybe a general confusion on what the cartridge is supposed to be. A rule of thumb with the .30 Super Carry is that it generally requires a firearm’s action to be as strong as it’d need to be for 9x19. Sure, the cartridges themselves are narrower, but they produce basically the same amount of energy. It isn’t like a .380 or a .32, where you can get a noteworthy lighter gun. .30SC is always going to be an engineering cousin of 9mm.

I have a 30 super in m and p shield plus and i really like it!

Nighthawk makes a really nice .30 SC pistol and Ian from Forgotten Weapons goes over the history of this round in detail. It comes from a French round. I am also a fan of this round because of capacity. I get more rounds in the same size pistol. And this round is perfect for a pistol. Especially concealed carry.

Love the thought of hot rodding the 25. Budget is kinda a problem on 1100/month though. I am now salivating over the 30SC.

I've been thinking about a .25 magnum for pocket concealed carry for a while now! Would love to see you do it!

That 1984 reference took me a sec... and I was like OH GOD. Nice collection of ammo. I think I saw a bimetal 7.62R under your 20mm. I had an idea with the 277 sig fury: cut the case to 45 auto length, chamfer the inside to be able to seat a bullet, preferably something light.... profit?

The longer brass isn't to increase propellant capacity. It's so that if you load it into a gun chambered for the similar diameter but less powerful round (for instance, a 10mm round in a .40 cal pistol), the gun won't go all the way into battery and thus won't fire. It's a technique that has been in practice since the early days of semi-auto pistols.

I've been kicking around a similar, but different, idea. Stick to a 380 ACP OAL, and build a steel magazine like shield arms for a Glock 42, try for 10 rounds in something that small. Could be a cool pocket rocket.
