I've had this old military Remington Rolling Block for a few years now, never fired it and decided to find out what it's chambered in.
I bought it thinking it was a Greek contract I now have determined that it's probably a re-chambered Danish one.

First-time for me using Cerrosafe, made myself a casting this afternoon but still can't determine what I've got... The likely candidates are .43 Spanish or .42 Russian Berdan yet my measurements don't line up with either. Mind you, it's hard for me to determine the length so my measurements themselves could be off for length, I do however have the diameters fairly close.

Any guesses?

Chat gpt says 43 Spanish is the closest. Even says that the rolling block was chambered in this caliber for a Spanish contract. I think 43 Spanish is the winner
