I've had the luck of a job lot of old Parker Hale catalogues. And as anyone who has seen any will note theey pretty much are the same thing from one year to the next. But sometimes there's little something you didn't expect to find.

And the cost as below. Halger died in 1934 and as much as is said about his cartridges his death and WWII would consign the Halger Magnum to history.

And Wannsee? The name of that place would acquire an association with infamy and evil.

Here it is for you all on AR.

The .280 Halger is the .280 Ross by another name.https://guns.fandom.com/wiki/.280_Halger_HV_Magnum ; https://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=8768377

No. Not strictly. Or so the internet has claims that it isn't so. Saying that the Ross used a .288" bullet (which it did) but that Halger, bless him, to avoid paying royalties used a .284" bullet. And God Bless him for it as it's a lot easier to source off-the-shelf .284" bullets than semi-custom .288" bullets....which having had a Ross I found painfully expensive.

I have always been under the impression there was no person called Halger but it was joining two names which I think one was Gerlich, obvioulusy the second hald of HalGer. I can't remember the oher name that gave he Hal part.

I have a Ross M10 and find it not too difficult to size .308" bullets down to .288", given that you must not try to reduce the diameter more than .004" at a time. Not much worse than sizing .458" bullets down to .435" for the .425 Westley Richards.

As Juliet remarked, "What's in a name? That which we call a Ross by any other name would shoot as sweet."
