Does anyone know the specs of this Norinco ammo as that will tell all?

Stieger, off the top of my head I recall reading that the German 9mm Parabellum ammo being 124 gr and upwards of 1400 FPS!

Current 9mm Luger Winchester USA ammo 124 GR RN is only 1140fps!

Since I reload, I seldom purchase ammo!

Dear George:

Please provide written evidence of the 1,400 fps claim for 124 gr German Army ammo. Believe me, none such evidence exists.

Winchester ammo is propably at the 1,140 fps you claim. This ammo is right at the edge of functionality in some early Lugers, and does jam in others as well.

Current NATO Spec. 9mm is right at 1,260 fps, with a slightly lighter bullet. This is at or near the current Norinco ammo level (blue and red box). It is loaded approximately 20% hotter than the original German military ammo.

Lugers are not designed to shoot hot ammo. They usually will jam on the stuff.
