MD can ya look if there is a 230RF

Aparently Tranters Single shot pistols were chambered in 230 RF which is diffrent than 22RF i figger.
I bet it aint in there but could you look please

 

[MD]

No, you're right, it doesn't.

There is the .22 Remington Automatic on page 275 and the 25 Short on the next page. Nothing in between.

No 230.

Thanks for the info MD.
