Hi, yes as you know they went mad with littlejohn re. calibres, its a wounder they did not make one in .22in. rimfire. By 1942 with armour increasing all the time and skirting plates etc. - well really what could they offer in defeat of targets? Much better and cheaper to use chemical energy methods. And equipment - do you use a cone brl. or carry around adapters No this was more for developing information on external/ internal & terminal ballistics for the 2 pdr. lf l can find the info that came mostly from ''Q'' proc's then l will get back to you. Regards, Ron.

If they were made and only ever submitted to trials, I suppose they would not have had a "WG" headstamp. That sure would be a nice case to find though!
