Cartridge 9mm Ball NATO M882

According to TM 43-0001-27 Army Ammo Data (29Apr94, 20Dec96 and 18Oct05), M882 has a 112gr FMJ slug loaded to 31,175 psi (average) and 36,250 psi (maximum) going 1,263±5 fps at 5 yards.

Cartridges of the World, 11th edition says M882 has a 124gr FMJ bullet loaded to 27,000 psi max average propelling it to 1,251±25 fps at 16m.

I am thinking that the Cartridges of the World is correct here.

Bartocci talks about early NATO ammo being hot and the spec in the TM is definitely running higher pressure.

I'm having a lot of trouble finding the actual spec. even if I have no trouble finding the specifications...

    You might start with STANAG 4090 and the associated AOP 4090. They can be found at the NATO e-library site.
