Uhh... thanks???

Some people talk about it, others...

Dimensionally, yes, insofar as rim and head profile and as noted, the 7x57 borrowed from older rounds there. When ther US developed the Springfield, they paid Mauser for the rights to borrow from his design and then went to "improve" on it (in the US's opinion anyway :-) But that's where the...

Yup, same with the 7.65 Mauser and a few others. That's why I added: The "Cartridge Identification and Search Tool" is a very unique resource - it matches case dimensions. I assume you've heard of those and simply don't read posts very closely before you respond to them. Please note the...

While AmmoGuide doesn't list the .17-20mm :-) it does host these bigguns... Those rounds are: .50 Fat Mac (Actually based on the .20mm!) .375-50 BMG 12 Gauge From Hell S&H 2-Bore BP Express Compare ballistics for the above here: (Sorry, limited info available for .375-50)...

There are probably more decendants of the .308 Winchester than any other round (with the possible exception of the .284 Winchester). I searched for the basic case dims for the .308 and children and got this... (Note: Some of the above are not decendants of the .308 and actually pre-date it...

AmmoGuide case capacities are calculated, based on a case full to the mouth. There is no one "correct" value for case capacity. It is a GENERAL GUIDE only. An empirical measurement depends on many factors such as whether the case is "fired", "unfired", or "fired and sized" (and whether neck...

Not exactly. The above statement infers one can simply fill up a large case with slow powder and go for it. The determining factor is the maximum working pressure for a given cartridge. The .45-70 and the .450 Marlin have the same bullet diameter and almost exactly the same powder capacity...

Because of this thread, I've research the round a bit more and revisited the AmmoGuide case diagram... We suspect the dimensions that were there were from a hand-measured case. Anyway, thanks for keeping us honest. (FYI, SAAMI tolerances for most rim diameters is max-.02".) BTW, you...
