Age,

I agree that Bullseye will likely produce excellent ammunition. However, what I'd like to attempt is to locate powders and bullet designs that were available at the time my P-08 was made and see if I can assemble a fine shooting cartridge with those components.

I guess its somewhat like the guy's that enjoy dressing up in Civil War uniforms and recreating famous battles, but on a smaller, more personal level. I'd like to know, if it's possible, with the kinds of components that were likely available 80 to 90 years ago whether I can assemble accurate 9mm Parabellum ammunition.

Yeah it's sort of an obsessive thing, but it beats watching Sunday Football and drinking beer!
