IMI 9mm parabellum, approved

Hi,

I decided on a little experiment today.
Normally I tend to shoot Sellier & Bellot 124gr. 9mm parabellum rounds in my P08's. Works well, burns clean, length is close to old Georg's specs and is readily available over here.

On occassions I use the club brand, which is GeCo 9mm parabellum. A slightly less powerfull round which leaves a lot of unburned residue behind, but this too functions reliably.

This time I decided to test the Dutch army variation, the 9mm parabellum made by IMI. I found the specs pretty close to those of the GeCo rounds. Again some residue was left behind, although less than the GeCo. Again, this ammo functioned flawlessly, the shooting session was only interrupted by a badly seated magazine.
