correct answer! 45 Thompson Model 1923, all the headstamps REM-UMC, WRA Co and USCCo also have 45 ACP in their headstamp. A 250 gr bullet at 1450 FPS from a 14 1/2 inch barrel

OK, 16 sounded a bit long. Originals were 12 though so you'd get a bit more velocity...

Yep, that middle one stumped me. I just took a stab. And, now I know.

Jim, original Thompson barrels were 10.5 inches long (without comp)
Al, It is believed that the Model 1923 Thompson cartridge used the same 18 rd magazine as the Thompson shot cartridge

When I was kid I used to memorize Cartridges of the World, one edition after another. I would literally wear them out. I have lost many cartridges from my collection over the years because of all of the moving and such. I am ready to build my collection back now.
Thanks for the quizzes.
