I purchased a box of 9mm.
There are 36 bullets on what looks like 6 stripper clips fused together.
The bullet heads are black and have a bright blue ring at the neck.

The 36 round box is marked "9mm kptr m/39" and the headstamp on each cartridge is a 6 to the left of the primer, a 035 at the bottom of the primer and a 5 to the right of the primer (which indicates to me it being manufactured in '65). These rounds feature a non-corrosive Berdan primed brass case, plastic bullet (with blue sealant between the bullet and case) and a 5mm iron ball embedded in the tip of the bullet that I assume is for positive feeding or perhaps stability in flight. However, shortly after purchasing these rounds dirt cheap, I read reports that some claimed the iron ball would sometimes end up peening the bore.

Below are the original two threads I created in 2002 at TFL, both include some ballistic findings and small photographs (which I will attempt to attach to this post).

Thanks in advance!
