Saracen Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Does anyone have a drawing showing the basic dimensions of the 25pdr cartridge ? I'd like to turn out of brass some for this 1.6th scale 25pdr kit but I've not managed to find a complete drawing yet. The dimensions I've found so far are that it is 292mm long, with a 105mm rim. I would be grateful to know whether it is tapered, and if so by how much, and the approximate thickness of the wall. Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enfield1940 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 It isn't tapered and it measures 3.45in / 87.63mm at the neck. (The very earliest cases made in 1937/38 are marked 3.45" rather than 25PR) Case thickness is about 1mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saracen Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Many thanks for the information, that's just what I need :-) I've made a few test runs and managed to down get to a 0.25mm thick wall, which is thin enough to look the part.
