Kriegsmarine 7.5cm FlaK L/60

[charley777]

Here's another cartridge that i seek information about.
There are so many sources of information on German WW2 artillery rounds.
However i have found little on Kriegsmarine ammunition.
I have this Merkbuch on the 7.5 cm FlaK L/60, i round i had never before encountered.
The case seems to be about 670mm long.
Can anyone tell me the actual length and the rim diameter, please?
Thanks very much, Charley

Rotation

Probably better this way, saves neck strain init

The 7,5 cm Flak L/60 is also called Flak 38 and has case dimensions: 75x640R115. They exist in steel and brass.

Same case as the KWK42?

 

[charley777]

I had originally assumed that this used the 75x640R case of the KwK 42.
However when i looked more closely at the drawings and got the ruler out i decided otherwise.
This case is longer and seems to have a smaller diameter at the base.

The 7,5 cm KwK42 has a 123 mm rim.

To make things more confusion, there is also a KwK42 Kriegsmarine (still looking for a case for my own collection)
