German P.08 Military Ammo Specs?

This is some bullet data from Walter's "The Luger Book"
Post 1916 - 115 to 124 gr
Late 1940 - 97 to 102 gr
Late 1942 - 89 to 92 gr

The 1940 bullet was steel and the 1942 bullet was sintered steel. I estimated the weight of a 1944 bullet from cartridge weight measurements at 88+ gr, so the 90 gr data appears correct. Hope this helps!! <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
