Cartridge Comparisons

Cool never ran into them before. Just the one that with no boom

If you open one up it is a bunch of gunpowder cords. With a paper cap on top. Hence the name cordite.

Have any of you ever shot the old .303 cordite loads. I once had some that were loaded in India. They were really neat. I wish I had saved them for my collection. When you pulled the trigger you would hear Click...Sssttt....Boom. It reminded me of shooting a flintlock.

I once knew an old man that made them. I don't remember the case he started with but the work was intensive. He had to turn the rim the form the case. He sold the ammo by mail. That was an interesting round.

Haha i do! Its a pistol round developed in 1904. If you want a pic pm me and ill take a pic out of the book i have.

I certainly don't.

I don't suppose anyone has a pic of an 8mm nambu round.

7.63x25 is the correct round for the Broomhandle Mauser.
Its also called 7.63 Mauser.

You should not confuse 7.62x25 Tokerev with this round.
7.62 Tokerev can be loaded too hot to use in the Broomhandle Mauser.
Also 7.62x23 Luger should not be used in Broomhandle Mausers.
7.62 Luger will not headspace correctly and both may cause failure of the Broomhandle Mauser.

Ok so used in:
Borchardt Auto Pistol
Mauser Broomhandle Pistol


Any others anyone can think of?

Yep I'd like to see em!

I'd like to see them capt'n. I might post some of mine as well.
