Does anyone know which cartridge these bullets were intended for reloading? The bullets weight 114 grains. Using an inaccurate caliper we get measurements around .321. Using good calipers usually adds .001 or so to the bad reading. Thanks.

  I think they work in an 8mm Nambu. Factory was 102 gr. 8mm Roth-Styer was 116 gr.

  I believe the bullet weight would be to heavy for the Nambu. To the best of my knowledge, Fiocchi never made Nambu ammo.
  
  They do make it for the 8mm Roth Steyr pistol. This is a photo I got off the net of the current production ammo. It has a brass jacketed bullet. The ones in the tin on the other hand, appear to have either cupro-nickel or steel jackets. This type of jacket was commonly found on European made military ammo, of the pre W W II era.

  Thank you for the help. It does appear they were bullets for reloading the 8mm Roth Steyr.
