One of the more difficult to find 28mm rounds. This ones the 28 x 212/R with prac projectile, shown next to a 28 x 188 for scale.

Attached are photos of a few more squeezebores that I picked up recently.
The 4 large ones to the right are German 7.5cm, the 3 smaller ones to the left are German 5cm, all fired. Yes I realise the paint job is.......unusual.
The tiny one in nice condition is a Swiss HS 606.
Anyone else got any more squeezebores hiding out there?
All INERT.

Jeff I've just revisited what you posted here. Reference the 6cm squeezebore. What sort of case would it have used? I'm not familiar with any WW2 6cm German cases that would be suitable.

Here's one I was glad to add to the collection today, still looking for a case though.
The large one is a 7.5cm.
The smaller one a fired 4.2cm prac.

Just a couple more recent additions.

The Germans worked on a 31mm squeezebore weapon with a 31 x 268 case developed from the Mk 101 aircraft round.
A range of projectiles were made all with an initial calibre of 31mm squeezing down to 18mm, 20mm and 22mm. Various core sizes were tried and also solid practice versions and even a chromium tipped version.

The following shows the 1381 (31mm squeezed to 18mm) tungsten cored projectile on the left and the 1322 (31mm squeezed to 22mm) tungsten cored projectile on the right. Note that the designation 1381 is correct for the 31/18 and 1322 for the 31/22, I understand that this was a deliberate move by the Germans to confuse anyone who may get hold of drawings (perhaps someone can confirm if this is a correct assumption).

The following shows various views of the 1381 complete with the design drawing.

If anyone happens to have a spare case then please let me know
