Cartridge weight
It lists "cartridge weight", but I really doubt this piece used cartridges. It would be a charge, probably made of numerous smaller bagged propellant charges, so they could adjust the charge to alter range, with the shell loaded on top afterwards. The ammo was not fixed into a single cartridge, the charge weight was variable, and it appears they even had different shell weights. So how can you list "cartridge weight" with any kind of meaningful accuracy? Idumea47b (talk) 20:26, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
