The .246 Purdey, also known as the .246 Flanged, is an obsolete centerfire rifle cartridge developed by James Purdey & Sons and introduced in 1921.
The .246 Purdey is a rimmed cartridge originally designed for use in Purdey's own double rifles.
Never popular or widely used, the cartridge offers slightly less power than the .243 Winchester.
[1] As is common with cartridges designed for double rifles, the .246 Purdey was offered in one loading, firing a 100 gr projectile at 2950 fps.
