8x63

 

IDnumber 254 Caliber 8x63 Model Projectile form Projectile weight Projectile material Projectile type Inert Colour markings V0 mps V0 fps - Propellant Propellant weight Gram Propellant weight Grain - This is a inert round from 1934. Most of these rounds were reviced in the 1940th with a coat of green paint covering the full projectiles to follow the new standards introduced in the beginning of the 1940th.

 

IDnumber 215 Caliber 8x63 Model Projectile form Projectile weight Projectile material Projectile type Inert Colour markings Green projectile V0 mps - V0 fps - Propellant - Propellant weight Gram - Propellant weight Grain - This inert round is quite unusual. I have not found a model number for it, and the samples I have seen are all manufactured by Karlsborg ammunition factory in 1932 or 1938. The case is in plane brass, not chromed as the later 8x63 models. I have no proof of it, but I have a hunch that this first type were ordered by the air force. It is to be found samples in the air force museums in Sweden, and I have some samples on the air force metallic desintergrating link.

IDnumber 229 Caliber 8x63 Model Projectile form Projectile weight Projectile material Projectile type Inert Colour markings V0 mps V0 fps - Propellant Propellant weight Gram Propellant weight Grain - The inert ammunition with just one groove can be counted in one hands fingers, and I can really only think of the 9x20 inert m/19. All the inert 8x63 ammunition I have seen until now has the typical two grooves in the case.
