Trying to find what exactly these bullets are and would like to know the description on the box.
Over the years, not taking another language in school has came back to haunt me. Just as my Mom told me then. English language seemed hard enough so I ran from all the foreign languages. Any help? Would love to know any info that anyone knows on these. Thanks.

  9.3 mm is a very common caliber in Europe. Our equivalent would .366. Many European hunting cartridges, use 9.3 mm bullets.
  
  The Russians also use the 9.3 mm bullets, in their military firearms. From the Makarov pistol, to their suppressed assault rifle,.to their long range sniper rifle.
  
  The 25 mm, would be the nominal length of the bullet. Approximately 1 inch. This would be  quite uncommon, in this country. As hunting bullets for reloading, are normally only identified by caliber. Not also by physical length.

  The 25 could be bullet weight in grams, or 385 grains which seems heavy standard weight in 9.3 diameter is 286 grains.

  Hard to tell for certain, but those look like 286 grain bullets.  I have a CZ 550 in 9.3X62 and that's my usual weight.  Looks right for that weight.

  But, I'm surprised a box of bullets for reloading wouldn't carry weight on its packaging.

  Being stamped "Made in Germany" and looking at the oxidation, I'd assume this must be pre-WWII stuff.
