To my knowledge they are just 95'ish grain bullets.
I wish it was on the box. I have Wolf ammo from the same "era" and it says 102 gr. I've read elsewhere that the larger grains were popular in the 90s and were intended for the US market.

My concern is that it might be greater than 95 gr, and therefore unsafe for certain 9x18mm Mak guns such as the Polish P-64.
Here is a helpful link on all 9x18mm makarov ammo.
