View Thread: 9x39 mm

Does anyone have any dimensions for the 9x39 mm casing and SP-5 bullet? I have estimated dimensions from photos of said casing and bullet, but would like to verify that it's at least close to real values.

The casing is a 7.62x39 mm casing necked up to accept a 9 mm bullet. All other measurements are the same, but I need to verify those listed.

Since these were estimated from photos, I did not consider any more complex nose shapes (power, parabola, haack, etc.), but rather used a simple tangent/secant.

Your links aren't working. I have very rough dimensions for 9x39 from a cartridge collector website.

Some of the cartridges being sold are fake copies. There are some real ones around but they are expensive.
