Quote:
My chart shows 32 bore being .526". I know of no ctg. even close, with the .50/70 being closest at .515".
In Europe, there was the 12.7x44r of Sweden
what ever there was - trust me - it was never used for a german made combination gun in the time from 1870 to 1900.
first generation breech loader with a metal (or paper) case use pinfire or center fire shotgun caliber. most time 28 ga and 24 ga but also 20 ga and 32 ga.
even the 11,15x50, x55, x60 and x65R LK blackpowder cartridges use a case that was developt from 36 ga shotgun brass.
