Does anyone have the velocity specs for the Win. 124 Nato Aim is selling?

Would it be comparable to Winchester's RA9124N Ranger round?

"Blasphemy is an epithet bestowed by superstition upon common sense." (Robert Green Ingersoll)
9mm NATO is really just a pressure rating:
9mm Luger (US commercial standards)
9mm Para (European standards)
9x19 NATO
SAAMI:
9MM Luger = 35,000 psi / 9MM Luger +P = 38,500 psi
NATO:
9x19mm NATO = 41,415 psi
NATO Performance requirement: at 15 meters, can pierce 5 mild steel 1mm thick plates situated at 5cm one from the other.
SAAMI does not have a +P+ pressure rating. +P+ ammo is loaded to whatever the manufacturer wants.
Most NATO ammo is not loaded anywhere near the maximum pressure. The penetration requirement for NATO ammo can be achieved at lower pressures. NATO ammo is typically in the 34,000 to 38,000 psi range.
