CoonDawgWhat Gun?
Does anyone know what gun fired the 13mm Mauserand Vickers rounds. Saw a picture of these 2 rounds today and it (13mm) looks like it would make a dandy parent case for something.
Also any info on these 2 rounds would be a great help.

an overgrown bolt action antitank rifle.The Vickers was a machine gun round.They made a short
and long Vickers.Here is link to a UK collector
with great pictures and all kinds of info

Bad Ass WallaceThe 13mm was a scaled up M98 single shot anti-tank round. The Vickers may be a .55 Boy's anti-tank developed by the british. The Boy's round has a belt same as modern magnums; check these sites
