I need some help here from those more knowledgeable than I.
All of my life I have been reading about "hot loaded Submachine gun ammo" and how it should not be fired in handguns.. This usually referred to 9X19 ammo. I have also read about super hot loaded Yugoslavian ammo for the CZ-52 that should not be fired in Tokarevs.
I have never seen a picture of a box of ammo that is so marked. Does this stuff really exist? I mean, what would be the advantage of loading such ammo...? The dangers would far outweigh the small advantages in ballistics that would be achieved. You can shoot it in your subgun but it will blow up your Luger...or your P-38.?? If you shoot the pistol ammo in your Subgun it might stovepipe and short stroke and get you killed???
It makes absolutely no sense for any army to load two different pressure levels for any given cartridge; the potential dangers are obvious.....
So help me, cartridge collectors of the world. Does hot loaded subgun ammo really exist.... or is it just a myth...
Like the one that says 7.62X25 Tokarev ammo is loaded hotter than 7.63 Mauser ammo...
