    Not quite. 7.7x56mmR is the NATO classification for the .303Brit. As far as I am aware, SA is not part of NATO.

    Yes, I saw that somewhere in a parent case registry for wildcatting. Quick Load does not list it as such though.

    Is there a mistake in the numbers?

    Yes there was,

    "Outer diameter of 303, 7.62x39 and 7.62x53R is the same: .311""

    No:

    .303 is .312",
    7.62x39 is .309-.311 (SAAMI).312" (CIP)
    7.62x53R is .309"

    There are so many versions of 7,92 MM Mauser that I really don't want to make a list here, but it is longer than two bullet diameters...
