Notes
The .30 Picra Pistol Cartridge is a low recoil sporting cartridge designed by Ivo Picek for use in Long Silhouette Shooting. The .30 Picra is a Wildcat cartridge, created in the Czech Republic, formed by necking down a .357 Magnum cartridge to accept a .30 caliber projectile.
Developed in 1997 for use in the SP-96 Single-Shot pistol, the .30 Picra closely resembles cartridges like the 7mm Whisper, created in the early 1990’s by Wildcatter JD Jones of SSK Industries, as well as the 7×49 GJW Silhouette Cartridge, created by Guido J. Wasser.
