Wow, you really know how to pick the oddball one!

Too bad cartridge names are not standardized (and accurate in terms of diameter). Yes, some are accurately named, some you can guess the meanings, but not all.

This is kind of unfair considering @Tactical_Reviews was around during the creation of this round & most of us were not…

How do you think I got the answer right - took me some time to remember back then - well, it was over 100 years ago (roughly 1886).
