8×63mm patron m/32
The 8×63mm patron m/32 was a bottlenecked centrefire cartridge with a slightly (0.25 mm (0.0098 in)) rebated rim for Swedish heavy and medium machine guns.Given the experiences of the devastating effect of small arms fire, including the long-range, even indirect fire of the machine guns, in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I, as well as a revolution in terminal ballistic calculations, calibre-related concerns occupied a lot of attention worldwide in military establishments.After study-travels by Lieutenant Colonel de Laval along with Captains Nygren and Holmgren, mainly to Germany and the Netherlands in October 1930, Royal Swedish Army Materiel Administration (Kungliga Armétygförvaltningen (KAF) appointed a commission that conducted a series of tests with calibres 6,5 mm to 7,2 – 7,5 – 7,9 mm, and bullet weights between 8.4 grams and 17.0 grams, with the intention to either recommend a new calibre for the kulspruta m14-29 or retain the 6.5×55mm but with a new boat tailed spitzer bullet, as the old blunt nosed projectile m/94 had inferior ballistics.[2] Past this, the 14.2 gram bullet in calibre 7.9mm had superior performance in precision and penetration while not causing excessive barrel wear as well as fulfilling the requirement of 20 kilogram-metres impact force up to a range of 3,600 m (3,937 yd).Compared to the 1928 pattern .30-06 Springfield M1 Ball the 8×63mm patron m/32 was loaded with 8.20 mm (0.323 in) S bore 14.2 g (219.1 gr) bullets and had more muzzle energy.
