ammo for the p-64?

I just saw a youtube video on thr p-64 that said that the standard round for the pistol as designed was just a 71 grain bullet. That is signficantly less that the more standard 95. It also would explain a lot about the recoil most experience with the pistol. my question is are there alternative, and generally available loads that are more in line as the pistol was designed? BTW: I'm just repeating generally what was stated and take no credit for the observations.

I think most 71 grain bullets are .32's.

The P-64 manual on this website states that the bullet projectile size is 71 grs., but I believe that to be in error. I agree with kurremkarm that 71 grs. is a standard bullet size for 32 acp and not 9x18.

that's a misprint in the manual , there has never been a 71 grn. bullet in Europe for 9x18

71 grains may be a mistake but bullets are commonly weighed in grams in Europe. If it were 7.1 grams, that would equate to 109 grains...within the realm of possibility.

here is a link to the video he is talking about... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyXAklp0a2I the video is about ten minutes long pretty god video but if you wanna skip straight to the point where he talks about the grain and all the skip to about 7:35 and he is goin off what the manual says for the grain load then states that he loads some of his own ammo and all that
