The bullet weights changed with time. During the last years of World War I the bullet weight was 115 to 123 gr. During the first years of World War II the weight changed to the 97 to 102 grain range. Later, around 1942 the weight changed to 89 to 92 grains and the bullets had a sintered metal core. Sorry I don't know what the corresponding muzzle velocities were for each bullet weight.
