Had a fellow in the shop the other day with a drilling (no maker's name) with the rifle barrel marked 8,8 x 72. Is anyone familliar with this cartridge? From the less than great chamber cast he had, I measure it at .355 bore, and approx. 72mm long, straight taper. The only similar cartridge listed in Cartridges of the World has a bottleneck, this one clearly didn't?!?!
Any ideas?
