20 x 72RB Ehrhardt

[Tony Williams]

Does anyone have any info on the projectile weight(s) for the Ehrhardt? I have a muzzle velocity from somewhere of 670 m/s, compared with 600 m/s for the Becker, but nothing on weight, and the flat-nosed one I have is empty.

Thanks for any help.

Tony, the projectiles should be identical to the Becker type 2.

Thanks for that. My empty (base-filled, flat-nosed) proj weighs exactly 100 g, so I assume that any filling would weigh c.10 g and a base fuze maybe the same, so around 120 g overall?

How does the MV of the Ehrhardt compare with the Becker 2? The case capacity seems about the same, but were they loaded to the same pressures?

I wish I knew that!
