8x58 rimmed, it is the danish military cartrigde for the krag jørgensen rifle, it actually packs quite a punch.
you can fire form the 30/40 cases for the new case, i will see if i can find the loading info for you.

please read this before you hurt yourself, cotw is very flawed on this cartg. and potentially dangerous.
