I had similar thoughts Ford, but I was wondering where you were & almost called you.
Franz Neuber or Franz Neuber & Sohn in Wiener Neustadt, Austria was an upper rung retailer as well as designer with several patents to his name.

Utah Shotgunner,
I suggest, then, if you have factory 25-35 ammo try to chamber one in the rifle. If it stops considerably short of chambering, it is likely a 6.5x58R or 6.5x48R( this is where judgement is required, depending on how much it lacks chambering). If it chambers completely, or only the rim interferes, then it is likely 6.5x52R. If it will not chamber past the shoulder, it might be the rare 6.5x70R.
Raimey,
I was back in the hospital for a week and then had trouble with my computer for a couple days. You can call whenever you want to,
Mike

Mike Mike, I understood the usefulness of 25-35 ammo in this instance. I commented about it, as I traded away all of my 25-35 ammo a couple of weeks ago. Went to a friend and I could access it, but he is an hour drive. Chamber cast it will be.

And the winner is?None of the above!Even with the cast filed flat to have a very thick "rim" the case is approx. 49mm in length 1.932" ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/VLfccBGN/20240321-143904-1.jpg)

Mike,
Actually, it one of the above. It is the 6.5x48R. This cartridge is almost as powerful as the 6.5x58R but you can make cases from much easier to find 30-30 cases vs original length 38-55. Bullets, however, may still be 0.260 or 0.261", as in the 58mm case.

Mike Look at that! I read past '48', concentrating too much on the various 50s. Had to "Control F" to find it.

What a stellar chambering. Utah Shotgunner, if you or the Current Custodian ever wants to dispose of this gem, let me know. It is a hammergun or hammerless? I shoot a lot of 32 bore.
