Cartridge ID help please.....
Bought a box of these at a garage sale over the weekend, and am curious as to what they are. Dimensions, as close as I could get, are as follows.
COAL: 1.158"
Case length: .750"
Bullet diameter: .354"
Neck OD: .377"
Web diameter: .389"
Rim diameter: .392"
Headstamp is MM, and appears to be dated 6 42. MM, appears to be Musgrave Manufacturers and Distributors out of South Africa.

From where I sit, it’s clearly a WW 6.

Tha 9mm Glisenti (Italian) fits those dimensions, especially the case length.
Added: The 9mm Luger and 9mm Glisenti have similar / same measurements. The Glisenti is loaded to lower pressure. The standard 9mm Luger cartridge is very much more common.

I just looked, and sure enough, there are 64 rounds per box. Paid 2 bucks for it, so I guess it wont cost me much to toss them..
