Hi Dave, Tony, I wouldn't want to type it in every time either and as I cant even put the dot in the middle, I can't even do it properly once. Anyhow, I was just trying to clarify as Tony stopped short of the full deal.
Thanks on the bullet being rimless. I didn't know one way or the other, but with Vickers building guns to work with the British rimmed .303, then I expected the .5-in. round might be the (impractical) same. The Vickers was obviously built in a number of different calibers, my guess being the majority were rimless. I just didn't know / remember and never took the trouble to check. Thank you.
