37x222 APCNR Question

[Weasel]

Hi All,
Regarding the US 37mm x 222, has anyone got any documents or pictures to show how the APCNR projectile was crimped in to the case. I would imagine that the top of the case was rolled over but wonder how the lower edge of the proj was crimped.
Best regards Weasel.

Hi Weasel, look at post 1 on the following:

Its crimped in below the projectile and also rolled over the top of the rear flange in the same was as the 2 pounders.
