How in the world did you find this? They could be the .401 too as the Russians really loved them.

Was thinking they could be .401 rifles as well.Russia ,I understand ,bought some .401 rifles during the First World War. Although not as many as the .351 rifles they bought.

Yes, I read an article by Herbert Houze many years ago that talked about .351s and .401s in Russia. He related the story of a White Russian officer surrendering his .401 and his last 3 cartridges to the captain of a British ship taking him and his men from Crimea.

I wonder what happened to all that .351 & 401 ammo that we shipped to Russia? They never throw that stuff away. It's probably in some isolated warehouse in Siberia.
