20 x 145R Bofors

Does anyone have any data on the loadings for this round? Projectile types, weights and MVs. The weight of propellant powder would be appreciated as well.

Thanks for any help.
 
Hope this is of some use.

Also keep in mind those for the subcaliber barrels.

Sweden and Germany also made steel cases.
 
I have a data sheet of sub-cal loadings but didn't find it right away. If nobody else can post it here soon, remind me Tony and I'll search deeper in my files.
 
Here the data sheet I mentioned.

All those pictures from the Swedish ammo catalogs are very nice, but only show the colour schemes.
Here some internal views (all for 20mm m/40-70 AA-gun).

Thanks for those - I had forgotten about the earlier thread (it was more than three years ago, after all…. :tinysmile_cry_t2: )
