Just reading some US documents on German weapons and had to laugh when I read the 28 cm K5 (E) also uses pre-engraved ammo :tinysmile_twink_t2:

The US also made experimental 8-inch which were preengraved.

The Russians also did quite some experimenting with preengraved shells in the 1930's for the Kurchevski recoilless guns up to 305mm.
