      To conserve lead during World War II in Germany, the lead core was replaced by an iron core encased with lead. This bullet, identified by a black bullet jacket, was designated as the 08 mE (mit Eisenkern—"with iron core"). By 1944, the black jacket of the 08 mE bullet was dropped and these bullets were produced with normal copper-colored jackets. Another wartime variation was designated the 08 sE bullet and identified by its dark gray jacket, and was created by compressing iron powder at high temperature into a solid material

        I'm not so sure about that. Everyone over at the Luger form says the best cartridge is Winchester White Box in 115. Or similar. And this is for all Lugers. And, in fact, they recommend against any "Plus" ammo because it can harm or even break the gun. They also said that the plus or NATO ammo was designed for a small machine gun and definitely should not be used in a Luger.

          Interesting thread, get past the first few posts and the real information begins:
          I understand that there is HOT ammo and civilized ammo, but not necessarily designed to be for one weapon or another, as regards the discussion on this thread. I know of no Tokarev ammo that was specifically designed for SMGs only. Therein lies the myth part.
