9.15 x 48 Norm
Has anyone ever encountered this ammunition.
I have a Haenel Aydt in this Caliber and can't find any
information on the ammunition.
Could someone please point me in the right direction to find some info?
Thanks so much
jd

I asked about slugging the barrel because as you have written it that does not seem to be a cartridge that was normalized. It would be infinitely more common to find an Aydt in 8.15x46 Norm. I believe some shooters have found that some chambers of these rifles appear to be 2 mm longer or 48 mm. Possibly to make room for a stop ring bullet. So if you slug it and it measures anywhere between .316 and .321 it is 8.15 and not 9.15 and brass will be quite easy to come by.

I'm going to slug it tomorrow.  Though I do believe it its a 9.15.
It's marked as such and I have a couple of 8.15 Schuetzen rifles and its definitely not 8.15.  I've seen a couple of other 9.15's for sale and have a friend with another 9.15 and he's never found any ammo for  it either.   
thanks for your help.  I'm trying the German group.
