Thanks Muzza for posting the pics.

I must say that the ruler lies a little, the case is a few mm longer than it looks like. I will messure it up better after the weekend to see if it still is the same cartridge.

Anyway, 1898, wow... I payed 30euros for 2 of them, probably way to much. Anyway, since its not easy to find anything bigger than 9,3x62 i guess it was worth the spent monney.
