Hi Sieger,

Thanks! I think it was one of your posts some time ago which alerted me to the Fiocchi truncated cone ammunition. I meant to try it but I wanted to test a few 115 grain rounds and just never got around to it. I think I'll pick up 50-100 rounds of this and see how my 1918 Luger likes it.

I take it, then, that you don't think this 124 grain Fiocchi 9mm FMJ Truncated Cone is too hot then? I'm looking at a batch from an online retailer (50 round box at 1150 fps). Whilst I'm keen to experiment with new ammo, I'm not keen on accidentally putting in actual hot/+P type ammo in!

Best,

Michael
