Overview of 7.65 Parabellum Ammo
7.65 Parabellum, also known as 30 Luger or 7.65x21, is the original Luger pistol cartridge. It fires a light .30-caliber bullet at high velocity with mild recoil.
7.65 Parabellum is not interchangeable with 9mm Luger, even though 9mm was developed from it. Check the caliber marked on your barrel. If your Luger is a 9mm, shop our 9mm ammo instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 30 Luger the same as 7.65 Parabellum?
Yes. 30 Luger, 7.65 Parabellum, 7.65mm Luger, and 7.65x21 are names for the same cartridge.
Can I shoot 9mm in a 30 Luger pistol?
No. 9mm Luger has a wider case and bullet and will not safely fit a 7.65 Parabellum chamber. Only fire ammunition that matches the caliber marked on your barrel.
Is PPU 7.65 Parabellum ammo reloadable?
Yes. PPU 7.65 Parabellum uses boxer-primed brass cases, so the fired brass can be reloaded.
More About 7.65 Parabellum Ammo
DWM introduced 7.65 Parabellum in 1898 for its new Parabellum pistol, developed by Georg Luger and Hugo Borchardt. Switzerland adopted the Luger Model 1900 in this caliber in 1900, making it the first military to standardize the cartridge.
The German army later moved to 9x19mm Parabellum, which went on to become the most popular pistol cartridge in the world. Many 7.65mm Lugers remain in collections, especially Swiss and commercial models, which keeps this original Luger cartridge in demand.
