I am amazed to see that no one got to the range with a chronograph, some vintage ammo & a P08 !!

It would be interesting to compare ``live results`` with the specs stated in the various references........

Cold weather up here makes it impossible for me at this time to do such velocity testing.....

I recently ran some ``balistic vest testing`` a little while ago. Part of a work project on some Level II & IIA LE Vests. I went into the ``vintage ammo``bin to include some ``REAL`` 9mm ammo.......


2 rounds caught my attention, headstamps read:

dnh St+ 8 43
kam St= 20 43


One bullet lost......the other recovered one weights 99.5 gr, has a steel jacket but velocity is unknown. Quite an impressive performance in the testing........

I know it doesnt help much on the velocity issue........
