I had got a Husqvarna Model 17 A in 1999 when all this informations were not available in the net as today. thought that this combination gun use 40 mm long brass cases like german rifles from this time ![]() ![]() ![]() but I wonder about the long free bore you see here. the black line shows were the 40mm case ends and you see where rifling starts. it was ok for me because I load a .589 480 grains Lee minie bullet over 90 grains black powder with my .577 snider die set. the rifle dont shoot perfect because of the hollow base bullet but I get it in a 10 -15 cm circle around the target at 50 meter. ![]() some years later I learned that Husqvarna chamber the combo's and rolling block rifles for a 50mm long brass case with a round ball ![]() old Husqvarna catalog shows ammo for the Model 17 a 20/50 ( also in 24/50 and 28/50) the Modell 17 B in 12,7x44R and the Modell 17 C in 9,3x57R 360 there was a thread once in the swedish firearms forum where such rolling blocks were topic. I think it was lost then in a crash years ago but I saved the pics from differnt rolling block bore rifles and ammo ![]() ![]() ![]() slug the bore ![]() old 50mm cartridges for the roller, different german made brass cases ![]() ![]() new made 20/50 cartridges ![]() 12,7x44R and 20/50 side by side ![]() ![]() maybe your rifle will do a little bit better with 50mm long brass |
