Interesting 90mm RCL case from Sweden

**charley777** · 21st October 2010, 11:22 PM

Hello...just received this case from the 90mm KAFT RCL anti-tank gun.
It surely has the longest neck of any cartridge case...
Base to shoulder is 260mm
Base to neck is 340mm
Overall length 760mm
So neck length is 420mm !
Base diameter is 124mm
System use an electric primer on side of case.
There is a location slot for primer alignment.
Various stampings are there...probably been reloaded a few times.
For comparison the last photo shows it with 90x600R US case ,
90x598R French case (also with a fairly long neck) , 90x353R Cockerill

Very nice case as well as the others.
See what you mean about the neck as it really is the longest one I have seen.
Thanks for showing us.

But did Jane's get this wrong?
In their books they seem to illustrate this round but describe it as 90x610R
Nor seem to mention that it is recoilless. Hmm. Maybe a correct entry with wrong picture ? Any Swedish ammo or RCL experts have anything to say ?

This is an old thread, but new to me (as I'm a new-commer to the site). I think I found a photo of the rare expiramental gun for which this round was designed. I'll try to post the .jpg from an add I saw on Ebay, but I'll also post the link to the (sadly temporary) add. Maybe a more computer-savy member could make the photo permanent here on BOCN? Hope this works: LINK: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tank-Killer-...item231965caf7
