I have a photo of three cartridges, the far left has a green band around the lead bullet, I believe this is a smokeless loading for the carbine ? any help would be appreciated.
the middle is a 297/250 Rook
the far right is the very early 500/450Attachment 129145
Yes, carbine loading.Quote:

Heres a pic of a couple I have the Kynoch is on the Rt as you can see the inspection window.
Pic quality is a bit sad an I-phone 4 I may get a better one with my new phones camera.
I remember the first one of those I saw, wondered why they had a hole...Quote:

Not that I have ever been able to find, closest was the .30 US Army or Krag. Not too much difference there...shoulder location and diameter.Quote:

They made them with a wrap method where they crunched the case around the load and bullet complete. I'd have like to see their machines.Quote:
