Research notes

This is one of the three straight cased 12 x 44R cartridges and it was only produced by RWS. It had a slightly smaller base than the other two types, namely the 12.7 X 44R REMINGTON (SC6) and the 12.7 X 44R F.H.(SC7) and was thus interchangeable with the other types but not vice versa. It is distinguishable from the other two case types by having a * in the headstamp. It was a Norwegian development. (Dixon Ref. SC18)
