yes, bullet weight
 It is the weight in grams: 8.0 Grams is approx. 124gr. |

Leen,
I regularly shoot 95gr Magtech ammo in my Lugers. This is a very hot ammo with respect to energy and very very fast but due to the low bullet weight the momentum is very soft. The momentum is so soft that this ammo just exceeds the minimum momentum required in competitions in Germany. The characteristics of this ammo comes near the 7.65 Para. The accuracy of that ammo is brilliant but not every clip works with it properly. So ist is required to find an appropriate clip but the effort will pay off. Armin |

OK, I've attempted to convert Vlim's Mauser list to Yankee units...I had trouble with the 5's & 6's = i can't tell which one Mauser wrote, so I 'assumed' they were 6's...
 (My apologies to all Metric & Deutsch reading peoples)
