I use 6gr Red Dot powder + 140gr lead gas checked bullet, gives you the equivalent to .44 spl ME.
I don't suppose you know anyone with MARS Vz58 you could see if they operate the rifle.....

"Ub" denotes "Ubung" (training) , therefore yes for training recruits

Thank you Tovarisch, I forgot the training bit
The East Germans also had an equivalent round in 54r for training that used the same 123gr bullet as an AK round and these were produced in Hungary especially for the East German military and had a black bullet in a grey steel case, usually with a "21" factory headstamp.
