    What cartridge is this ??

    I inherited a bunch of old reloading equipment (VERY OLD ) & some odd to me cartridges. Can you tell me what this round is? On the base of the round is a VI at the top, 18 on the left edge, 87 on the right edge. Some sort of flower on the bottom. At least that's what it looks like to me.

    I wonder if that was the inspiration for the Garand end-block clip.

    I doubt that is a flower.
    It's probably the royal crest for which ever country the ammo is from, either Austria or Hungary..

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    Hard to tell without accurate measurements. It has the Mauser A base and was loaded in 1887. If it's not 11 MM Mauser it will be something close to it.
    BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.
