I couldn't see this cartridge in COTW.

It is a slightly older copy.

Or did I miss something ?

500Nitro, COTW is notorious incomplete and inaccurate when it comes to older German and Austrian cartridges!Take f.i. the bs about the 9.5x57 Mannlicher-Schoenauer as having an insufficient shoulder for headspacing. In fact, this case has a more pronounced shoulder than either the 9.3x62 or the .35 Whelen. Or,the 9.3x48, x57, x70, x72, x80 and x82R all lumped together.It ignores the fact that these cases came on 4 slightly different base-rim dimensions and in at least 5 different body taper shapes that often cause confusion. Nearly none of the countless blackpowder cases based on the M71 Mauser base are even mentioned.
