The bullet is a low alloy steel cylinder with a reduced diameter at the front which is splined and has a brass rotating or driving band swaged over it. The rear of the bullet has a central conical recess, which mates with the top of the driving piston and centralises the bullet in the case and in the pistol bore as it is fired. The projectile is lubricated with a dry molybdenum sulphide coating. The bullet body diameter is 7.59 mm; rotating/driving band diameter is 7.8 mm and overall projectile length is 28.4 mm.
