    Name that cartridge.

    Lunchtime puzzler for some of you, name the cartridge in the following pictures.

    Shown alongside a .22lr and .223 for scale.

    Well, let's start with an obvious one 50 BMG / 12.7x99 ?

    But the shoulder angle looks a bit shallow for 50bmg ?

    Also, I work COAL out to be around 100mm, case length 77mm ?

    .50 BMG isn't a belted case..

    Not 10.75x68 either.

    Think bigger

    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Hmmm, 404 jeffery and 505 Gibbs are both not belted.

    Projectile diameter is too small for 20mm... My measurement is around 10-11mm

    There we go, nice work Greg.

    Originally based on a necked up .50 BMG, with added belt. Designed for the Boy's Anti-Tank rifle.

    Did it gets its name from being able to fire it through a line of boys and it would stop in the 56th one?
