Thanks Gene, the heavy calibre Brit cartridges look to fat at the cartridge base to be plausible I think, so agree .43 Egyptian seems most likely so far, although I understand from my .303 friend there were similar sized Turkish & Mauser rounds, {If I took that in correctly.} which I havent looked into yet. {He didnt have any to hand, sadley.}

I reckon the calibre is round the .43 to .45 range though.

mmmmmmmm

Think were getting nearer....
