Most of their pistols were chambered in 8mm Nambu, which is about .320". There was a "Baby" Nambu that was chambered for a 7mm round, but it is less common.

My book says 99-103gr bullets.
New commercial loads look to be around 85

And you asked about weight- 102 grain in 8mm @960fps. Baby 7mm Nambu was only 56 grain at around 1250 fps.

8mm was chambered in Nambu Type 14 pistol, which was the official sidearm of the Japanese armed forces in WW II.
