What round and gun is this from?

[RustyD]

I found some interseting neat lil' shells at the range other night. It is very small, looks like a 17 or 20 cal. Its like a pregnant 17HMR centerfire. Looks like a great varmint round. Anyone know of this round, where its from, and what guns chamber it? Its so small its hard to read even w/ magnifier.
G.F.L. 4.6x30 or 40x30 or 4.0x30

4.6x30 H&K, Fiocchi manufacture. It is a target/ match round. Not very common.

How did I know you were going to answer this. I was going to ask you straight out but didn't knwo when you might be online. Sure looks like a target round.

WOW!, this little round was designed as an armour piercing round for the MP7! Only travels 2K fps from what I can see, amazing.

Rusty, a Body armour round, not the moterized version. I had a buddy from Switzerland that live here in the 1990's. He was still in the military and had a special exception to have full auto Swiss toys. I never asked why. After a night of visiting the local pub he invited me to check out his safe room. I was in awe. You need to stop by and I'll tell you about him sometime. One badass MF.

It's HK's version of the P90/5.7 combo.
