| The Winchester Company introduced the first WSL (Winchester Self-Loading) cartridge in 1905 for the Winchester Model 1905 SL rifle. SL= Self-loading or Semi-Auto. The first cartridge was the 35 WSL (.35" diameter projectile) and the second was the .32 WSL (.32" diameter projectile) in 1906 for small to mid-size game. The 32WSL cartridge was the prototype for the famous U.S. Military 30 Carbine cartridge. Both the 32WSL & 35WSL were under-powered for big game and the Winchester Model 1905 SL rifle was discontinued in 1920; however, the cartridges were produced until app. mid-1950s? 3 different Head Stamps available Below |
