RAY1946:

I have just what you have been looking for.

From the Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken 1904 Munitions-Katalog actual drawings of all of the original 7.65 bullets.

There are four rendered. One round nose, one round nose with a flat point, one round nose flat point with hollow point and one truncated cone (the one you are looking for).

All have a diameter of 7.83mm or .308 inches. Originals I have actually measured were all .309 inches.

Strangely, the original spec. Luger barrels are right at .311 inches (as are my 7.65 Mauser rifles).

I have been trying to get some folks interested in a custom mould cut to the original truncated cone design, but have not followed up.

Would you be interested?

Please PM me for a copy of the original designs.

Thanks!!

Sieger
