Anyone ever heard of the .30 Silhouette?

I found a SSK 14" barrel that is marked .30 Silhouette. There are no dies or brass with it and a call to SSK didn't reveal any information as it is not one their creations. Just curious if anyone has ever heard of it.
I guess a chambercast would reveal dimensions.
Thanks in advance.
