That 7x61 Sharpe and Hart looks interesting. Very steep shoulders. What's the bottom ring for and wich rifle fire this cartridge? Pedersen is good solid Danish name

The bottom ring on the round is what is known as a 'belted' cartridge,
used in large bore 'magnum' rifles to provide correct headspacing,
prevent over-insertion, and keep the bolt face against
the bullet.........

Hi,the only commercial rifle chambered for the 7x61 S&H was the Danish Schultz & Larsen.

Link to the 8x63 Bofors. Very interesting. Sad indeed that they converted the M/40 to the NATO 7.62 round. 8x63 Swedish Website

These are the R-P .22 Accelerator cartridges,I don`t believe you can buy these anymore as there would be no rifling marks on the bullets for a police ballistics test.
