SAAMI Pressure for 9mm

My $.02...

I doubt this is unused military ammo; it does not have the lacquer sealed primers...I have a box in front of me...

Usage: Target/Range
Application: Indoor & Outdoor Range, Plinking, Target, and Match

I would say that pretty much eliminates Police use as well...For issue, anyway...

Practice ammo??? Maybe...but I don't think (judging by my experience qualifying with DoD Police in the 80's & 90's) that any Police agency would practice or qualify with anything other than issue ammunition...the bullet strike would be different...

It looks to be just general use 9mm cartridges, not anywhere near +P.

BTW: My Speer Reloading Manual says 35,700 cup is the maximum industry working pressure...
