Good Day,
I have a vague memory our military was equipped with 124gr NATO truncated cone/flat point ammo a number of years ago. Does anyone remember that ammo being used? If it existed, is it made now somewhere?
Cheers

What time frame? Most all of the stuff I have seen and used was standard ball.
There was some European manufactured ammo that was loaded to specs hot enough to be reliable in a subgun.
Somewhere deep in my now-dysfunctional memory is the notion that the original load for the 9mm Parabellum ("Luger") pistol featured a truncated-cone, FMJ bullet.
I know that some major manufacturer still makes this load, but I just can't remember which one, or even if it's a US company.
Hornady had a version of this I think.
What about these:

The Winchester is a 147 gr., though.
You got the truncated cone part down, but "NATO" is a higher velocity ammunition, similar to a +P loading.Quote:
