hahah

Ksail101 

you were close

the first one on the left is a .22lr

you were correct on the last one it is a .50MBG


the 3rd and the 4th ones are the going to get interesting hehe
Title: Re: What are these
Post by: Big Frank on December 11, 2008, 06:55:56 PM
It's hard to judge the scale. The 3rd one looks too fat to be a .22 PPC so I'm guessing .22 WSSM.

The second one looks too skinny to be a .22 WMRF so my guess is that it's a .22 Extra Long RF.
Title: Re: What are these
Post by: Fatman on December 11, 2008, 06:57:07 PM
Pretty sure the 2nd one is 22 mag.
Title: Re: What are these
Post by: Ksail101 on December 11, 2008, 07:00:02 PM
I have seen the 3rd one before I just cant think of it and one of them is going to have to be for your Enfield so one is a .303 British. (I think thats what you call the .303 a "British" right?) Also I bet you own all the guns that can fire these cartridges. ;D

And you are probably right Fatman I just did a quick list by looking real quick I thought I might get a steak.
Title: Re: What are these
Post by: Big Frank on December 11, 2008, 07:00:15 PM
.22 Mag is wider at the base than .22 LR, but I can't tell if the first 2 are the same diameter or not.

Yep there is a .303 British

the 2nd one is a .22mag   

the 3rd one is larger than .22 ;) 

I wish I owned all of them   ( i have a massive case of CBF going through the shit for a .50bmg  + bit too $$$ if I could get one atm)

.243 WSSM? 6mm PPC?
Title: Re: What are these
Post by: Fatman on December 11, 2008, 07:06:50 PM
Hazcatting a guess at #4 - some kind of Martini Henry (.577/460???) or similar from Zulu War era.

I thought it was some old-timey thing too but those were all rimmed as far as I know.

.500 Phantom.

that's it

it is from the only one in Australia (that I know of) , a Gunsmith here in Adelaide made it up

On the other thread I said it looked like a .458 SOCOM with a lead bullet. Close but no cigar. They were both developed by Teppo Jutsu but the .500 is for AR-10s. I wouldn't have got it without your hint.

So what is the official list. We have .22 mag, 243,  WSSM ( I knew I saw that before, It was in a Guns and Ammo in one of the columns in the front I will try and find it and put up a link)  .500 Phantom and what else.
Title: Re: What are these
Post by: Hazcat on December 11, 2008, 07:30:29 PM
The rimmed one (3rd from right) is a 7.62 x 54R The next is either the 303 or 30-06, then the BMG.  The one to the right of the 'Phantom' is a 308.  Not sure about the next one as the bullet looks too skinny for any 30 caliber.

It looks like some kind of a 7mm to me too, but it's too hard to judge anything in the pic. Longer than 51mm so probably a 7x57mm. The .22 Magnum still looks too skinny at the rim. The other common calibers were a cinch.
