So, I measured the photos of the casings from NARA CE 543, CE 544, and CE 545 with my digital analysis software. All of the diameters of all the casings appear to match the specs within the error factor introduced by pixelation. The length from base to shoulder are as follows:
CE 545 41.66 mm (1.64 in.)
CE 544 41.66 mm (1.64 in.)
CE 543 45.72 mm ? (1.8 in.)? (I'm going to recheck this measurement. Ignore for now.)
I see the spec length is 41.20 mm (1.62 in.) Is the observed expansion here of the fired bullets CE 545 and CE 544 consistent, or inconsistent, with being fired from a M-C 91/38?
