A friend has a european double chambered for this cartridge and can not find any information for loading data. I recall a article or two years ago about the cartridge but can't find it in my files so probably did not save it. Does anyone have any information on this cartridge? Loading and pressure data would be very helpful

ELsco are gun-makers, SA is ammo loader Tony Sailer, K is Dr. Korts the rnd
creator, 3.309" brass case.

It sounds like a proprietary cartridge. Who built the rifle? They may have load data, and they should have proofed the gun.

I believe the maker is Jansen possible Belgium maker and he did not get loading data with the rifle. It was purchased used. Hopefully someone can come across the articles I remember seeing.

Tell him to get a chamber cast made; the search results imply that the round is based on the .348 Win. or .50-110 case.

Did he get dies with it?
