In my Navy shooter I have fired older 9mm Luger ammo, and todays 9mm (no +p) and found no difference in function or accuracy. I must be out of touch. Used the term 9mm Luger, and just 9mm, but never 9mm NATO. Of course hear the term 308 NATO used all the time.

And, of course, there is no "308 NATO". NATO uses metric designations, hence "7.62mm NATO", as marked on USGI ammo cans. "308" is the commercial designation, but not actually the same specs. SAMMI spec is more stringent than NATO. The little cross in circle is the NATO "stamp" or mark.
