Game: Guess that cartridge

Lever Action Pistol ammo?

It’s interesting that just about everything possible has been tried at some stage,no matter how impractical, mostly in order to get around patents.

yeah something like that mate

Is it an early version of paper patching?

no, this round actually replaced a paper patched cartridge.

It’s good to see that you have been practicing your colouring in. You didn’t even go out side the lines.
If you Hunt around you might find some Volcanic action or even a Rocket to have a Ball with and try Repeating the performance.

certainly doesn’t look like it would have extraction problems, lol!

is it smaller than .45cal?

Nope it is bigger than .45

is it smaller than .58?

Yes smaller

Is it self contained or does it use an external primer?

It is external primed

OK hint time.
Not a lot is known about this cartridge other than it is rare. The designer was involved in designing many different calibre including .50, 69 and 45-70.
