I tried https://ammoseek.com/. No luck. Try back often as stock changes daily. Ammoseek is a search engine for ammo. A number of companies participate. A lot do not. It does give a good snapshot of the market.
I tried Grafs also - no luck here either. https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/category/categoryId/8?
Good luck in your search

Wow, I owe you one!
I incrementally collect ammo and sit on it for ages and on occasion, it pays off. My luck, I sit on something until the prices come back down, oblivious of the price spike.
I bought 20 boxes of Fiocchi .30Luger/7.65 Parabellum when I purchased Luger chambered for it... traded the DWM Luger for a C50 Boulevard but kept the ammo.
If you're interested in paying for the shipping, I'll send you a 50/round of Fiocchi .30 Luger on the house. I'll put the rest on Gunbroker as folks are asking $140 /100 rounds! I figure I can ask far less and still come out sitting pretty. PM me if interested.
Edit: The 650 rounds are now up on GunBroker should anyone need more. It's being sold in bulk with the starting bid at what averages to $30.75 a box of 50. Another fellow selling the same item (same packaging) is selling 163 rounds for $300 (buy no of $350). This is a cartridge for the reloader!

Yeah, I logged on to ammo seek this am and found the ammo. Thanks. Looks like Fiocchi got busy and made some. Fiocchi is fine.

Just a heads up as I didn't see anyone else mention it. Ammoseek allows you to set alerts for specific cartridges if you have a free account with them. You can even set the alert to trip at a certain price.
Not sure if they have .30 Luger but steinel ammo is a good source for odd calibers. They were OOS on a lot due to supply chain issues but are getting back into the swing of things.

You might want to consider reloading 30luger once you build up a brass collection or see if you have a reloading buddy that will help you load them.

At least two of the better shooters in our local military matches shoot Finnish surplus .30 Luger pistols.
Of course they reload.

Another vote for reloading your ammo. With hard to find or expensive ammo it is a necessity for me. I can reload this for what I can reload 9 MM for and it shoots better than factory ammo to boot. Also there is less of a problem finding components than finding finished ammo.
For those of us who aren't reloaders and like "obsolete" guns, ammo companies bringing back rare and/or obsolete calibers are a real boon. 8mm Nambu is a fine example. For years it was impossible to find and is now available.
There's no way for me to ever break even much less save money by reloading even if I wanted to. I don't shoot nearly enough. I would hazard a guess that a good number of reloaders aren't saving money when you consider the value of the time involved. Reloading, while a great hobby for folks who enjoy and take pleasure in the time spent doing it, isn't for everyone. What free time I have I use for things I enjoy. Sitting in front of a machine doing a repetitive task ain't one of them. It reminds me of a crappy factory job I had when I was a kid.

Yep, I've been there.
