It IS slightly shorter, Jack.
It is the length of an 8mm Mauser, or I have found 3 of those in completely different areas of each other.
Just to clarify.
O.K., guys, gimme’ a break on spelling. I have to type with one questionable, and one bad, hand, and sometimes my dislexya kicks in, too.
But at least you knew what plant I was making reference to!

Maybe these two cartridges were just mistakes some handloader made ???
No, the smaller one, me and a buddy both got one from a gunshow.
The other, a Vet owns(I am not 100% sure) a gun for it.(Got 2 of the cases from him.
Yea? Not any harder than I am, after I read some of the things I post. I can rither look at the keys as I type, and still make mistakes, or it looks like vnbx jsdig n dfj! ;-)
