Truncated cone bullets
Fellows:
I'm looking for information on the history of Truncated cone bullet use in 9mm ammo as loaded by the Germans in WW2.
I have heard the following:
1. Truncated cone 9mm bullets were specifically loaded for use in PO8s, especially those used with drum magazines
2. Anecdotally, I have heard that American GIs were told that the truncated cone ammo they encountered was intended for Lugers, while the round ogive 9mm was intended for P-38s .
3. I have seen 16 round packets of round ogive, sintered iron 9mm rounds that I'm assuming are intended for pistols, since the 16 rounds would fill 2 magazines
I have not seen any sintered iron bulleted rounds in truncated cone shape.
Do any of you true scholars have info on this topic.
