Can anyone identify the grain weights (98-124) and velocities of these rounds on 1-14? Thanks.

That looks like a pic from DrakeGmbH's collection. He doesn't come here often but is still semi active on the net, so a PM may gain you an answer.

Otherwise Odd Job has a link to an international cartridge collector's site in his Sig, again may be worth trying.
 
I may be able to help, but not tonight. I'll check tomorrow.

First, a confession. I thought that Görtz and Sturgess had that info, but I was wrong. I did find some info but not what I wanted and the box labels (which seem to have everything but the name of the loader's girlfriend) don't have that info. I did find that the truncated cone ran 123 grains (8 grams), the iron core ran 100 grains (6.52 grams), and the solid sintered iron ran 102 grains. Hope this helps.

I tried posting for a while on the Luger forum, but quit. They got into a big hoohah about the so-called "witness marks". I told them what they were for and how they were used and got called all kinds of names because some "guru" had a different idea. I'll explain it if you shoot me a PM, too long for here.
