1934-37 military specifications for the 9mm mention an 8 gram bullet, with a velocity of 320 meters/second.
Which is basically within the specification range of both Winchester white-box and S&B 124grain.

Mauser did extensive testing of .30 luger and 9mm rounds when looking for a suitable baseline testing product for their 1970s production. They didn't see much problems either. In fact, they complimented Winchester with the quality of their 9mm rounds and the consistency of its performance. They opted for using Norma 9mm rounds for testing, as they were consistent and a bit hotter than the other rounds (Geco, Winchester, Swiss army, Swedish army).
