Name That Cartridge Canadian Championship

[Ardent]

Fair warning, nobody will get them all as there are four wildcats present. I was going through my load bench, which is a mess of components bordering on the obscene, as a few probably noted I’m trying to standardize my chamberings. That process turned up some interesting stuff.

Figured I’d line up some of the oddballs and see who’s got the deepest forms of the disorder as I do. So without further ado, here’s the lineup. The winner with the most correct gets an obscure inert cartridge they’ve never seen before that’s sure to be a conversation piece. Found some more so may have to do a bonus round if we get a tie.

Do your worst CGN, in ten days will post the list.

303 British.

Is that an 8mm Lebel in the middle? The Turkish Forestry Carbine is one I wanted as a kid.

And a 43 Mauser next to the 375 H&H.

Admittedly… that would squarely be the winner of the Canadian Cartridge Championship.

Present indeed.

Like clockwork, the odd fellow who follows my posts one starring them has struck again. I appreciate that you feel emotions, and a heartfelt thank you for the chuckles provided.

 

[MiG25]

Make with the Lebel photos... please.

There are 2 that keep me circling to 30BR

and potentially a Sherman Short ?

(I need to live closer to someone with this kind of stash for my photos)

Present

 

[MiG25]

30 Carbine and 7.62x39

 

[Ardent]

Yep on the former, negative on the latter.

 

[The Kurgan]

... oh nevermind, 9.3mauser just kicked some royal arse below,

(Ardent, helped with the stars)

 

[9.3mauser]

I haven't read anybody else's answers yet. Some of the little guys are confusing, as are the pistol cartridges.

My guesses:



( well, that sure went sideways)

 

[Ardent]

Dammmmn fine work 9.3, only 6 incorrect of those labeled, the incorrect,

.256
6 PPC
7.62x39
7mm WSM
9.3x62
.44 Auto Mag

.505 Gibbs isn’t present in the pic Kurgan, but I found cases for it after I made the lineup sadly.

 

[Ardent]

Tomorrow will be ten days, 9.3 in the lead for his choice of a .380 Howell (hint) .375 Kemano or something else interesting.

 

[Slimbo]

I spy a 9x50R magnum

 

[Ardent]

You sure do, another one of the wildcats bites the dust.

 

[KodiakHntr]

Looks like a 5mm to start, and a 218 Bee next to the 25 acp, a 223 AI next to the 5.6x50?
