Just another FYI. If someone has some good information on a specific caliber and wants to write up maybe a story or little article about it. I will add it to that calibers page underneath the loads..

Gunload master,
I really like the new set up over there!!!!!!! On the one 30/30 load with the 2 round balls I was not sure if that one would qualify, but I tried it anyway just because I knew that it would be going to you and that you would do what you thought was best with it, whether it was to post it, or deny it.

P.S. I might try to write a little story about my experiment over the summer with the 223, and cast bullets, and synthetic bullet lubes. If that would be ok?

[Gunload Master]

You can write up a story about that by all means. I would actually post it on the front page of Gun Loads. More of what I am going for is history of that particular caliber so that people would know what kind of caliber it is... That make sense?

The 15mm cf is an overshot honestly, a black powder scarce antique French and little known oddball from 1890. For the record, an old Eleys' Cartridges advertisement listed a 15M (mm) pinfire, around 1886. Did these guys have fun or what?
You'll have to draw a line somewhere and keep guys like me under control .

The "11mm" Montenegrin/Gasser are a confusing group of relic calibers, if only because shooters are not ctges collectors and don't realise they were several different rounds.
(Helllp! My chambers are not standard....! Right..., a bunch of these guns were made in Belgium too..... The montenegrin prince, who happened to represent the Gasser Company..., decreed that every militia member had to carry full-time; the militia actually covered every male adult ... can you believe that? )
So we had a 11.5x36 (.444) bottleneck around 1900,
a 11.4x17.5 (?),
a 11.3x33 to 37 (.454, first Austrian Gasser service round, 1870) ,
a 11.2x29 (.448, 2nd Gasser Austrian service round, 1882),
and a 10.8x23.5 (.425); according to my reference*.
The first service round was dropped by the Austrians because its dimensions were similar to those of the 11.5 Werder, 50% more powerful ... accidents happened..
If you decide to add them to the list, I would suggest one single entry with warning.
The guns do come up regularly on auction sites:

here's a list of old calibers (no sight of the Gasser/Mont.) :

PS: There's also the quite popular .400 Corbon; I'd like to get a 1911 bbl in that caliber this year, but where in Canada am I going to find it ????

Lot's of good references to calibers there... I will keep the list I got right now as a default, then as people say they have a load for an unlisted caliber. I'll just add it at that time..
Thanks for the links..
