15x101

[US-Subs]

I can find reference to 15x104 and have an example, but this is 3mm shorter. The case is loaded and crimped, so not cut-down. I have no reference on a 15x100 or 101mm. The case is otherwise a match for my 15x104mm. Can someone educate me please?

From memory, this may have been done to make use of the HE shells from the MG 151.

The shellcase is not cut down, but the 15x104 has the drivingbands sunk in the shellcase. This German projectile has the drivingband above the shellcase. To enshure both Czech and German cartridges could be fired from the same gun and no problems arise with chambering, the German shellcase was 3mm shorter, so the chambering length is the same as the Czech 15x104.

It could be this one?

Yes, it's the same. It's well known over here.
