I wish it was on the box. I have Wolf ammo from the same "era" and it says 102 gr. I've read elsewhere that the larger grains were popular in the 90s and were intended for the US market.To my knowledge they are just 95'ish grain bullets.

Here is a helpful link on all 9x18mm makarov ammo.DaBull wrote:Does anyone know the grain size of the Norinco 9x18mm Makarov round? My specimen comes in a green cardboard box with the red Norinco symbol and simply says 50 cartridges on it. Headstamp is 71 on top and 93 on the bottom. Probably imported just before the Norinco ban in the mid 90s.
My concern is that it might be greater than 95 gr, and therefore unsafe for certain 9x18mm Mak guns such as the Polish P-64.
