During the project SALVO program (1952-61), Winchester/ Olin produced Duplex and Triplex loads in order to increase the fire power of machine guns.
Many different loadings where made over these years, here are just a few. The long neck Triplex, note the middle bullet is canted. This is done for a random dispersion with every shot. Contains 3 - 59.5 gr GMCS bullets and has overall case length of 2.91 inches. Head stamp WRA/ 56 Next two are short neck Duplex and Triplex loadings, note the bottom bullet is canted. The Duplex has 2 GMCS 96gr projectiles, head stamp WCC/ 57 Triplex has 3 GMCS 60gr projectiles and has a red tip for identification, head stamp WRA/ 57 wolfgang

In the bottom Triplex round, is the bottom bullet just being held in place by the powder or is it connected to the middle bullet in some way?
As always, awesome pics. Thank you. |
