    I must take a look at the data for the 5.56x57R case from Europe.
    They do one and I can't remember what they call it
    It is begging to be called the ".22/303 Full Length Falcon Maximum Ackley Improved" or something like that. Nothing engraved on the barrel I assume.

    The vendor is pretty reserved about letting this one go.
    Hasn't shot it in a long time
    Will likely never shoot it again
    Knows I can drive it easily

    Really the over capacity case doesn't worry me too much.
    The barrel twist and state of the throat will be the deciding factors

    It might be a unique variation on the whole improved craze of its time
