You are correct. US manufacturers tend to download ammo because of liability concerns. Holds true in 8mm as some of the early 98's were not designed for the later ammo (the 98s were stronger later on).

I have had no problem with German WWII ammo when shooting my luger or my Hi Powers. Nor have I had any problems with current 9mm from abroad. But then my pistols were in good shape.
