Guess these Calibers

Dom · #1 05-23-2005, 01:25 PM

I guess I was bored the other day so I lined up a few rifle cartridges. Not too hard, start on the left and go right. I placed a 20 ga shotgun shell with a quarter to give perception to the photo -- I should actually have taken it closer. Anyway, good luck and I'll post the actual calibers in a few days, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

7x64 maybe a 270 as they are pretty much the same but I always have to be different.

Thanx Dom.

Whoa -- not so fast, nobody's got it just yet.

A couple more days, maybe a couple more tries and I'll throw in the towel and run down the entire list . . .

I wish I had my reloading manual here, but that third cartridge doesn't look like a .22 Hornet to me and the fourth one definitely doesn't look like a .223 round to me. Then again, I have never been good at these "Guess the Cartridge" games.

Very good responses from everyone, impressive. I know it's hard from a picture because you can't 'feel' and eyeball the cases up close.

I keep empty cases from a .270 and a 7x64 in my shooting vest. Throw one on the table, no head stamp looking allowed. Have your buds take a guess -- then throw the other case up on the table. Yea, there's a little difference, but one by itself is difficult, and you have to know what you're looking for.

Anyway, thanks everyone for taking a shot, some very close responses. The calibers are:

.22 LR
.22 WMR
.22 Hornet
.222 Rem
.22-250 Rem
.30-30 Win
.270 Win
.30-06 Springfield
8 x 57 IR
.375 H&H Mag
