Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Looking for ammo pic thread

There was thread, I think in this section where a poster put up a picture of different cartridges. There was .257 Weatherby Mag, .300 Weatherby Mag, and a .375 H&H. I wanted to see whether I got the others right. Anyone know where it is?

A good site for cartridge pictures is "AMMO ONE", a site for cartridge collectors. See: http://www.ammo-one.com/

What IAK is looking for, and I would like to see it, too, is a thread with several cartridges pictured, and the poster wants us readers to name the cartridges.

We want to see how many of them we got right.

IAK,
I know what your looking for as I remember seeing it but I'll be D****D if I can find it! I HATE when that happens!!

til later

Humm, I could have some fun with you.

All but one of these are quite common

That was it. I looked for it later, but could never find it.

I missed on the .260 Rem, and I thought the .257 Wby. was a .270 Wby.

kman, you are the man. Tailgunner, those are some really interesting pics. Could you post the answers to those? I'm not an expert in any way, shape or form. I just like learning new stuff.

Tailgunner:

Could you also post the answeres on the forum?

If not, could you send the answers to me in a PM also?

3rd pic down, the first round on the left is a 50BMG (I only knew b/c it is written on the case). Boy, when it is lined up like that with bigger rounds, it's hard to guess b/c you have no perspective on size.

Looks like round with the blue bullet says 20mm?

Ryan
Blue bullet is the 20x102 Vulcan, and each of the first 3 pictures has a 50 BMG round in it.

I'll let a few more people guess at them before I post the answers publicly, OK?
PM Inbound with the answers.

Tailgunner-
Thanks for taking the time to make the images. If the price of learning the IDs of these is exposing our ignorance, I'll oblige, since I do so regularly.

In the first image, the cartridge on the left might be a 13.2 German anti-tank round from WWI, the belted-case round looks like a .55 Boys Anti-tank cartridge, and the round on the right looks sorta like a Soviet heavy machine gun round.

Second image - looks like a series of US service cartridges: .30 M1 Carbine, 5.56x45mm (223), 7.62x51 (308), .30 US Army (30-40 Krag), .30 U.S.Govt (.30-06){looks like black-tip AP}, .50 BMG (which you told us), and (wild guess) a U.S. 60-caliber experimental anti-tank round.

I'll pass on the third and fourth images.

Thanks again.

Correct, correct, wrong country, and all correct.

There are many specility areas in cartridge collecting, so I wouldn't expect most collectors to be able to get them all, at least right away, as some are obscure even by collector standards. IOW your not exposing anything.
