I expect it to be quite rare....

the squeezebores shown by SG500 were loaded by colt in the 1960s.(in old cases for some reason)this project was developed by russel robinson(a new Zealander!) in the late 50s and early 60s.his company RICA,robinson improved conventional armament.there are 7 different versions of the 50 cal rounds(I have them all and will photograph them one day)
I cant find any record of who developed the one shown by rigby,could have been frankford arsenal as they experimented with loads of different rounds

Mine is described at HWS Vol.I p.263.

 

[kiwieod]

yes I have history of modern small arms and it describes the frankford arsenal test in 1942

Enclosed is a German 50mm the projectile is in bad shape but this is the only one I have come across so far.

Orcutteod,

You round looks like an Arrowhead, which is not a squeezebore.

So this would be the right configuration of projectile and
shellcase?
