One likely caliber would be 11.15X65R. My Sauer drilling, 1905 as I recall, is that caliber. A 2 1/2" .410 shotgun shell is a perfect fit. You may be able to use brass .410 empties to create your ammunition. I also shoot .410 shotshells in my Sauer. I can't see your links.

Austro-Hungarian for sure with the Lefaucheux platform & probably made in Wiepert but it is possibly that Poriska took a parts kit & made it.
L. Wußzinger Nachfolger, I do not recognize this firearms merchant right off.

The overall length of the cartridge is 3-1/4" - much longer than the 11.15x65R. A fellow on another forum suggested that the cartridge is an 11.6x82R. My pictures show the rifle and the chhamber cast dimensions. I'm not sure why some can see the pictures, and others can't. this has happened before on this Forum. Austro-Hungarian for sure with the Lefaucheux platform & probably made in Wiepert but it is possibly that Poriska took a parts kit & made it.

To Buckstix 1. "L. wurzinger's Nachfolger" means "L.Wurzinger's successor" 2. Simply google "L.Wurzinger" and you will get 7 hits of L.Wurzinger guns/rifles The most spectacular in James D. Julia spring 2011 auction ( now Morphy) sold for 9775 $. In one of these is also the script "L.Wurzinger in Wien", so Franz Porizka took over some time his Viennese shop. The Wurzinger guns/rifles date 1867 to 1875. 3. Check for the calibres in these hits, possibly one of these is also yours. The Austrian gurus I knew on these old calibres are all gone. Cheers F.N.

Machine translation: Buy a German hunting cartridge 11.6 x 82 R / 450. It was German modification of British charge 450 3-1/4 inch Express. Production started in 1879. A totally impressive cartridge with its size. Needless (no longer") authorized by 1890. I don't have Pay U. I don't send abroad.

Hello felix, Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the translation. It now makes it clear why that name was also on the barrel. Interesting that you mention that Werndl in the James Julia auction. I actually collect Werndl rifles, and have a similar Schuetzen Werndl, although mine is not as elaborate. I expect my rifle was made in the late 1870s up to 1880 . Hello montenegrin, Thanks for the reply. Yes, that is the exact cartridge for this rifle. I'll be making some cartridges and will shoot this gun soon.

I wonder what game the Austrians would be hunting with such a large cartridge.
