The Polish 7,92x107mm was good for a few hundred rounds in the barrel, same for the German 7,92x94mm.

I am certain that I must have posted these photos before, but about five years ago, i made two dummy cartridges. The first was the German 7,92x94mm anti tank round that had the small pellet of tear...

I have used a chamber insert in both 30-06 and 303 cal rifles, which will allow you to shoot 32 ACP or 32 S&W short (also have one for 32 S&W long in 30-06). These are quite accurate at around 20...

My friend in Florida got a few of these cartridges from a French gun collector some years ago and gave me this example. I was able to find out from another French collector, who was able to identify...

I have not seen your headstamp, it seems to me that WW1 303 headstamps have not been easy to find, same for the German 7,92x57 WW1 headstamps

Forgot tp add that the US Army also adopted the Viven-Bassieres grenade launcher during WW1, they were made to fit the
Springfield Model 1903 and the US Enfield Model 1917 and also used the leather...

I found a photo (difficult to find) of the V-B message grenade and cartridge120456

The Viven-Bessieres rifle grenade and cup launcher were issued to the French Infantry in 1916 and apparently only used with the Lebel rifle. A standard service 8mm Lebel cartridge was used to launch...

I found out the reason of the second cannelure in M2 AP bullets. The second knurled ring above the crimping was a non mandatory
specification added in 1941 for additional identification of M2 AP...

Here is a photo of some WW2 30 cal AP bullets (173 gr) note the second ring or cannelure

CINDERS, your S I 42 is really S L for Salt Lake from WW2

The double cannular is often found on US WW2 AP bullets too, reason was better support when striking object

If you could measurements of the outside rim diameter and total length of just
the case it would help

My guess is that the cartridge is a 38-55 Winchester

The last issue of the American Rifleman magazine (NRA) had an article on the Weatherby rifles and cartridges. Weatherby's grandson stated that in 1996, after much

Thanks ...

here are some old photos of my friends L-39 Lahti 20mm x 138b cannon. I fired a few rounds myself and will never forget the sound and muzzle blast, recoil not bad. The photo of my friend firing the...

I think it would be correct to say that the 334 OKH developed in the 1940's by Keith, O'Neil and Hopkins by necking-up the 300 H&H to 333 diameter to use 200 to 300 gr bullets would be the...

Cinders, I am going to take a guess on the middle cartridge in your photo - looks like a 476 Enfield which also has a
punch mark type of crimp ?

The modern 5,6x57mm RWS is very close to the 1914 era 22 Newton (which used a shortened 30-06 case.
The 22 Newton fired a 70 gr bullet @ 3250 fps and 70 gr bullet @ 3100 fps.

Newton also designed...
