I received the two other cartridges today! I talked to Tom H. about these this evening and I didn't get a MM# for them.....seems as a debate is going on over one of them.
Anyway, here are the two as I've scanned them together.
Thanks For Looking, Roger

Hey Tom H,
Wondering who won the argument over the cartridge.....is it an Adams or Tranter? Would an X-ray help in the final decision?
I'll ask my Dentist to take a few X-rays, Roger

Roger,
The only difference between the two is the bullet itself, both cartridges made by Eley are otherwise identical, skin cartridge in a paper wrapper with a cloth pull tab for loading. The complete cartridge only shows the nose of the bullet and both bullets are very similar in that respect, with the tranter being a little rounder than the adams.
The attached photos are a complete Adams cartridge with an xray and a Tranter cartridge missing the outer wrapper. You can see how similar the bullet noses are.
