And some scans from a 1953 DDR manual on pistol and rifle rounds with v for the WW2 ammunition they were still using those days.
Dear Vlim:

Thank you for your contribution.

Around 320 m/sec, out of a 100mm (4 inch) barrel, seems to be the normal German Army load I've also been able to identify (see above post).

I hope you are having better weather than my friends in Berlin are having!!

Thanks again!
