This rifle chamber is really confusing.. I agree with Mike it maybe .32-40, but the cast has a shoulder. In the pictures it is not that noticeable but when you rub your fingers on the cast there is a definite shoulder. On the single shot assoc. forum some members are saying it is still chambered it the original 8.15x46r and to use the stop ring style bullet. A few say it's 8.15x52r with a stop ring bullet. I think they are basing it off the shoulder. I think the shoulder is to high for 8.15x46r. The shoulder looks to be in line with the 8.15x52r. Could it have been rechambered in Germany without getting reproofed? Could it have been rechambered in 8.15x52r in the states? Or is it rechambered in .32-40 but they didn't get the shoulder completely out? Or am I over analyzing the whole thing?
