In Federal's catalog they have a 9mm that's 115gr and 1280 fps. I noticed that the cartridge is _semi rimmed_, but looks identical to the Parabellum in all other respects. Is this round meant to be fired in a different gun? Also, I read about a cartridge called the 1908 9mm Mauser Export, which was a 126gr 9mm at 1360 fps, used many years ago. Was/is this round interchangible with the 9mm Para? The reason I ask is because the Para gets about 1360 fps when fired through a 10" barrel. I'm thinking the Mauser stats were given for a round fired in a sub-machine gun or carbine. Jim Del Vecchio
