Photos of some of my taper bore cartridges. The small caliber rounds from left to right are a US 7.62x51mm, a US 30-24 bullet and a complete round, a French 9mm MAS, German 14/9mm, four U.S. cal. .50 variations of the RICA squeezbore and a stack of projectiles. The 7.62x51mm has two blue bands and the words "Experimental Not Optimized" stencilled on the case. I have several more variations of the cal. .50 RICA also. The second photo shows a German 28/20mm, a US 37/30mm base on the M16 case, and a German 42/28mm. Does anyone have any information on the French 9mm round?

Wonderful selection of rounds there particularly the 42/28, rarer than rare. Thanks for showing them.
