30x195R ?

[Mathias]

Hello,

Can someone identify this cartridge case? I tried to search for 30X195R but I didn't found a match.
Case length: 195mm
Neck diameter: 30mm
Rim diameter: 47mm
There are no headstamps.

Thanks,
Mathias

The closest I can get to it is the 28x187R Gerlich PzB 41, made by necking out the 25x194R. Rim diameter is 47mm. Perhaps this was an experiment on the way to developing the Gerlich round? Probably based on the 25x194R anyway.

Thanks for your reply.
It looks indeed based on the 25X194R. I made two pictures of the case next to a French 25X194R. On the left is the 25X194R.
