This is the rimmed version of the 9x57 Mauser described above and was a popular cartridge that was made by various European manufacturers up to the mid 1980’s. It is believed that the rimmed version predates the rimless version although the exact date of introduction...

There were two earlier variations of the 9x57 M88, namely the M88/57/9A (M75) and the M88/57/9B (M76) and the 9x57 Mauser is the result of the normalisation of the cases in 1912. This is the rimless counterpart of the 9x57R (M37) and was a popular cartridge that was...

This was one of a series of cartridges introduced by Roth for the Sporting Mannlicher-Schoenauer Repeating rifle. It is for all intents and purposes interchangeable with the 9x57. (Dixon Ref A49)            ...

This is a very rare cartridge that was only shown in the DWM case book and not listed in any catalogue. It was loaded for the company Haenel of Suhl, Germany. It is not interchangeable with the 9x56 MS   

This cartridge was introduced by Roth around 1878, but was only listed up to 1910   

This cartridge is from an RWS drawing titled 'Patronenhülse B 9x52' dated 13.12.1929. This case is a 9mm version of the 8.15x52R B Target (GSP8) and as such would be the largest caliber in the 'B Target' series. It was most probably by RWS for G.C. Dornheim (GECADO)...

This was based on the 8x50R Mannlicher necked up to 9mm asnd introduced by Roth around 1906.   

This was an early Georg Roth production   

The 9x47R MB Target is listed in two versions namely the LORENZ version with longer neck and the UTENDOERFFER type.

Very little info available on this, but it could have been made from the 8 X 42R M88D MAUSER KURZ case.   

Probably introduced during the late 1880’s and was allocated Roth case #276. Loaded by Untendoerffer, Stahl, Roth and RWS with the gradual shoulder. Early Roth loadings were from military cases. (Dixon Ref. MB36)   

This was an early Austria target cartridge by Georg Roth and was listed until about 1910   

There appear to be two different variations listed in for this cartridge, namely the Utendoerffer and the Lorenz type.   

From European Sporting Cartridges (Dixon): This cartridge dates from around 1891 when SFM produced a range of cartridges in 7, 9, 12 and 15mm calibers for ‘Martini-Francotte’ Carbines. These rifles were produced until at least 1908. An example of the 9mm type with "GG...

The .360 Parborg is a wildcat that was created by Mr. Per Parborg, an avid African hunter from Oslo Norway. The cartridge was developed in 1990 based on his own design, with reamers made by Clymer in the USA for him. The cartridge was originally based on the .375...

This cartridge was developed by Nils Kvale of Norma early in the 1950s, but. 35 years before that however the nearly identical .35 Newton already arrived on the scene. Unfortunately factory rifles were only made for this round by Husqvarna of Sweden and Schultz &...

Very rare Gerlich taper-bore experimental designated .280 Halger Ultra II. It was developed during 1934 by the Halger firm from Otterup, Denmark. The designation refers to the final diameter of the bullet. Initial bullet diameter was 10,7 mm. These were also...

This large cartridge was a Sporting rather than a Target cartridge and is uncommon. It was introduced by DWM as case #495  (c1905 - not being shown in the 1904 catalog). The case uses a raised base with MB dimensions but has a tapered body unlike other MB types....

This is the rimmed version of the 10.75x68 Mauser. There is not any other info known except for an RWS case drawing dating from 1926.      

Very popular sporting cartridge in Europe and Africa and in all probability developed around 1907 – 1908. There is an Obernforf Mauser rifle chambered for the 10.75x68 in South African that has a date stamp of 1908, so it would seem an accurate assumption of the...

This is a rare cartridge that is often confused with the 10.75x65R Grundig, but as can be seen, this one has slightly smaller dimensions and is necked whereas the Grundig has a straight case. It appears to look like a slightly necked version of the 11x65R Collath....

This cartridge was likely the first of the rimless cartridges based on the G (Gründig) case type with a base of 12.55mm. It definitely precedes the 10.75x68 (M58) which is a longer neck version of this 63mm case version and is also likely to be introduced prior to the...

The 10.75x60.5R LV2 uses a base diameter of 13.6-13.7mm which is the same as the 10.15x60.5R LV4 (SC23) but has a 0.5mm greater diameter bullet than that cartridge. It was listed in the 1900 RWS catlogue, but no other references has been seen until the 1922 Hagen...

This is the rimmed version of the 10.75 Mannlicher and was probably introduced around 1910 – 1914 for Viennese gunmaker Johann Springer. It was based on the 8x50R Mannlicher case but was a Keller & Co./Hirtenberg development that was later included in the Roth...

According to Dixon, there is considerable debate over the origins and purposes of both this and the rimmed equivalent (A42). The RWS '10.75x52 G' and the Austrian '10.75x52 Mannlicher' appear to be the same cartridge. Both have a 12.5-12.6mm head which is used by both...
