Thanks for the 60 mb of information.

you mean the main round for the rifles

In no place of GK post said “main round”

Thanks,

thats the sense of these forums - share information.

By the way Lothar… wich was the use of the “Panzergeschoss” solid steel shot ? armor piercing ?

Yes it is a solid hardened steel bullet with a sort of copper driving band.

For trials these bullets where loaded on 8 x 57 cases. They where developed to used in the Patrone 318 for Panzerbüchsen.
The production was complicated and the results where not better than the normal jacket bullets with core, hard core or tungsten.
They are not that rare.

Here are several drawings of the basic shapes of Panzergeschoss (AP Bullet).
They are all more or less complicated to mass produce and so the trials where dropped.
A must have for your references Panzerjäger :-):shock:

Beautiful drawings.

that is complicated…8 mm bullets with driving band, but I guess must be in order to no destroy the inner rifling of the tube after a single shot :cool:

A must have for your references Panzerjäger

You bet, including those rare profiles of the 7,9x82B

Heres an real gem - a crate full of german SmK H ammo - and a nice thread about the different versions.

Incredible, so many tusgten ammo neves issued, I read that most of the wolfram ammunition was turned back to saver the hard core in order to fabricate cuttings tools for lathes and mills, but seems that was not the case.
