1066 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yes, Morris .295/230. These were originally introduced in 1882 as a training round. A barrel insert to take these cartridges (Morris tube) was used on something like a .45 Martini Henry service rifle so they could be used for short range target practice.
