| t ~ The Colt 30 Salvo Squeeze Bore or 300 SSB is a very rare experimental cartridge with three projectiles within each case. It wasdeveloped by Colt in the late 1960’s to early 70s, based on the original invention of Russ Robinson in 1903. Russ had observed that squeezing multiple- stacked-projectile rounds would cause them to reliably separate due to air trapped between them. In this application, special tapered muzzles were developed for the M60 Machine Gun. With each shot, the three (55 grain .22 caliber) projectiles would emerge from the muzzle of the firearm and spread out to increase the probability of hitting the target. The rounds were fabricated at the Colt Research Center using commercial Remington 30-06 cases, increasing the length of the neck to hold the three nested projectiles (similar to photo shown). As you can see from the markings on the box, each one was test chambered for fit and reliability in a specially chambered Garand, which puts a small dimple on the primer by inertia when the firing pin comes forward. The experiment was dropped after a few years as the U.S. Armed Forces lost interest in the project. These were never in mass production, are truly a rare find, and I only have a few available. Limit One per Customer/Orderre find. |
