For some fun, I went through some cartridges I had lying around. See how many you can get right. I will post the answers in a few days.

Well I was pretty close till I got to the one after the 30-40. I did know the Martini too. The 2nd I figured either the 244 or the 257 AI
Pretty much the same for me - the smokeless stuff I had, but the BP cartridges- not so much. :)

I wish I had the guns for some of the cartridges there. I have 2 if them. The 22 win auto & the 244 (I have a 6mm). I had to look some of them up to identify. I gave some more that I can't identify yet too. They all came from my wife's late uncle who was a gunsmith
