German P.08 Military Ammo Specs?

Now that I'm home, I can verify what I said before. On page 198 of "The Luger Pistol" by Datig, the following data are listed for the 1902 DWM 480 C 9mm cartridge. Bullet is 124 grains, case is brass, powder is smokeless and the velocity is 1250 FPS. There is a footnote saying that all figures given are average and approximate in most cases. So, even if the velocity was somewhere between 1200 and 1250 FPS, it's still a pretty stiff load.
