Thanks for posting that. The video was interesting. I saw one of these at the museum in Cody, Wyoming, but not up real close or firing.

It's interesting that the .276 Pederson round was ahead of it's time and is comparable to some more modern rounds. I have a few original rounds in my meager cartridge collection as examples are relatively common.

Speaking of Pederson, here's the WWI Pederson Device in action: http://www.forgottenweapons.com/videos-pedersen-device-and-modernized-fg42/
