How does the Hornady XTP do in the 7.65?

Hi:
This looks like a good possibility, as the original "flat" on the DWM 9mm truncated cone was 4mm. I can only assume it was the same on the DWM 7.65 truncated cone bullet.
I've measured original DWM bullets at .309 inches, though the barrel grooves on the 7.65s are exactly 7.9mm (.311 inches) per the original drawings.
I've fired up to .312 bullets through the 7.65 with no problems.
Hope this info helps.
