9mm Para/Luger

[summerside sniper]

Is there any difference between the 9mm Luger and 9mm Parabellum rounds?? I don't believe there is, but I wanted to make sure as I have some brass marked Luger and want to reload it for a Sig P220 in 9mm Para.

9X19 describes the cartridge by its diameter and length

9mm Luger describes the cartridge by its inventor Georg Luger

9mm Parabellum describes the cartridge by its purpose 9mm for war/military purposes.

yeah, those three are synonymous and describe the ubiquitous 9mm.
(in latin, para=for, bellum=war)
