223 or 1895

[Flbt]

I just got a rifle magazine in.
There is a article about the us army playing with. A 22 years ago.
Rimed case in a krag rifle getting a speed of 2,600 fps.
A reader made a experiment cartridge
They used a 9.3x72r necked down to a 22

I know it probably would not have much use now
But thought that some of you that like strange cartilage might find it interesting

A friend/colleague/army major of mine from about 40 years ago talked about some research the army was doing regarding high velocity bullets. It would have been a different area of research since that project was seeking higher velocity- several thousand fps. Seems the project was discontinued when the reality of high speed classical physics kicked-in.
