hoi,
there is the artilerie shell B.L. 9.2-in Gun-How. the Lengt is 680 mm to 850 mm depending on the factury. they only has to respect the weight and the calibre.

Hi wivin,

Many thanks for the reply, does it mean that this projectile could have been used for both Howitzers and Rail Guns?

A few days ago one of our members posted the location for an electronic version of the UK Treatise on Ammunition 1915.

Here are the plates of the 9.2 inch projos in that book.
