[QB]Here are a couple of boxes of 7.65 ammo that I have. One Winchester, one Remington. Please define truncated so that our understandings are sinc.

The third box pictured I could be persuaded to sell.

Hi:

Thanks a million for your reply!

Yes, I am referring to the original 9MM DWM truncated cone bullet.

A truncated cone bullet is a bullet with the frontal area approximating a cone, but with a flat point instead of a sharp one.

The German engineers found that these would tip upon contact, thus making a much more efficient and deadly projectile.

Supposedly, the Allies complained during WWI and, so the legend goes, the Germans changed over to the round nose bullet.

Thanks again!

Bob
