Explains why the HO didn't want to give me an answer on how to add 9mm Bergmann (Largo) to the obsolete calibre list...so now I get to tell them how!

well a quick scan of the obsolete calibres throws up the fact they can't even get the designation of 7.5x53.5 Swiss right! (7.5x53 is what they call it )

Not quite as straight forward as the .50 cal/MARS consultation to complete but completed none the less.

Perhaps we should all suggest the addition of .455 Webley to the obsolete calibre list. It's contemporary to most of the other listed rounds.
