I think these slugs are around 60 gr., which helps diminish the velocity to somewhere in the vicinity of 1000 fps, + or -.

Dave - Does your Erma toggle have a model number on it??? This one says 'SE 08/2'...

Ely is another ammo manufacturer. I think Aguila gets primed brass from them, or at least uses Ely's formula, probably under license. The various ammo makers' arrangements and manifestations seem a bit incestuous at times...

Since bullet and case of any .22lr share the same O.D, it should be no problem. It's the OAL that matters; I'm presuming that where the cone/taper/roundness ends on of all of their bullets is engineered to appear at the same distance from the rim, and thus will all fit in the .22lr chamber.

Nope, just "Erma" in a circle on the breech block. There is a groove in the top surface of the front toggle link which precludes placement of anything stamped there. Mine is the SE-08 model, immediate precursor of yours, and they are both post-war in vintage.

Ed, the Mini-Mag data on this sheet is for the HP, which my pistols don't seem to like, failures to feed. Different muzzle velocity than the CPRN, too--a bit faster, 'cause it's a 36 gr.
