Z8411 .52 Sharps & Hankins Rimfire Cartridge (Old Model)

Description: Excellent example of the "Old Model” or "First Model” .52 Sharps & Hankins rimfire cartridge. These are often referred to as the .54 Ballard cartridge, which is incorrect. This example has a round nose bullet with a long, drawn copper case. The bullet and case are clean with a few small spots. The head of the case is slightly dished with chatter. A very nice example of a harder to find cartridge!

Headstamp: None

Measures: OAL 1.699” CL 1.218” RD .650” HD .578” CM .559” BDaCM .550”

Reference: "Round Ball to Rimfire” Thomas Vol. 3 Pg. 319 No. 628
