Hi all, I’m Currently doing some research on British small arms ammunition development. However, I’m struggling to find detailed information on 4.85x49mm cartridges. Can anyone please point me to some good articles or websites perhaps? Even photocopy scans from books would help A lot.
Thanks in advance!

Scroll down the index list of calibres to item 14 and you’ll find my 4.85mm photos.
