I have a label from some Finnish (LAPUA) 7,65 mm Parabellum ammunition that I need help deciphering. What does R.aine maara(there are two dots over the a's) stand for?

Hi!

"R.ainemäärä" means the amount of the explosive (gun powder) material.

Regards from Finland

The application of the proper amount of high explosives can solve any problem. War is an act of force and to the application of that force there is no limit! So say the philosophers (Carl von Clausewitz b 1780 d 1831) of war.
