Svenska 9mm Bullets.

breechman
Hello, what I have gotten from military/police surplus are several "Svenska 9 parabellum" boxes. All they are FMJ and are individually sealed at the primer and bullet-case joint.
What I would know is how quality are and as nowhere is shown the grains the power should I expect. Also says "for automatic pistols and Sbmachine guns". Would match Nato specs?
Thank you.

    We would need the headstamp markings for positive identification of your ammo. That would only provide us ( hopefully? ) with the manufacturer and approximate date of manufacture.

    My WAG from what information you have given us, is that the ammo is Swedish Military ball ammo, to be used in their pistols and submachine guns.

    My personal experience with Swedish fmj military ammo is that it's high quality stuff, loaded hot, with plated steel jacket bullets.

    Thank you, it says 6 opposed to another 6; 9mm opposed to 6M. Thank you.

    Sorry, haven't been able to definitively identify the headstamp as being Swedish, in my references.

    Thank you again. Is it NATO spec ammo? Why steel plated? Some says it will cause the barrels wearing faster, Thasnk you.

    Never chronographed the Swede 9mm military ammo, I've shot in the past. Subjectively it seemed to be loaded "hot".

    The ammo had what appeared to be a nickel plated steel jacket over a lead core, although I never actually sectioned any of the projectiles.

    Many countries use/make military ball ammo that is steel jacketed because it's cheaper then copper alloyed. I believe that a steel jacketed projectile would cause more bore erosion then a copper alloyed one. This is not a factor to the folks that use steel jacketed ammo, their more concerned with the cost.
