#2 Swiss 7.5x55

 

[Scorch]

Nope

 

[taylorce1]

How about a real obscure 7.35X51 Carcano for #2?

 

[FrankenMauser]

#2: 7.5x54mm French MAS

 

[Scorch]

taylorce gets the nod. 7.35 X51 Terni

1- 223/5.56 NATO
2- 7.35X51
3- 7.65X53 Belgian/Argentine
4- 303 British
5- 7.62X54R
6- 7.62X51 NATO/308 Win
7- 8X57
8- 45-70-500

Someone else take a turn.

 

[FrankenMauser]

Ray had another on deck, I believe.

I'm still digging through the chaos, trying to reach my "oddball brass" box. (~4 feet to go... )

Edit:

Found enough to be worthwhile:

Sixteen cartridges, but nothing too crazy.

Sorry about the distortion. Didn't see it until after I uploaded. Shouldn't bee too much of an issue, though.

 

[Jimro]

Best guess off the top of my head...

#3: 50 BMG
#7: 7.62 Tokarov
#9: 50 Beowulf
#12: 5.7x28

Hint:
#2 is smaller than .45 caliber, and a military cartridge.

 

[RaySendero]

#6 - 32 Short Colt

 

[Scorch]

Cool stuff, FM!
#2- 9x18 Makarov
#4- 9mm rimfire shot shell

 

[FrankenMauser]

Negative, Ray.

Scorch gets 9x18mm.

And #4 is (was? ) not a shot shell.

1. 5.56x45mm/.223 Rem
2. 9x18mm "Makarov"
3. .50 BMG
4.
5. 7.62x54R
6.
7. 7.62x25mm Tokarev
8.
9. .50 Beowulf
10. .307 Win
11. .45 GAP
12. 5.7x28mm FN
13. .38 Special
14. 8x57mm
15. .357 Sig
16. .35 Whelen

Hint: There are two duplicate cartridges, in different configurations.

I'm willing to reveal #4 tomorrow, if there are no correct guesses. But #6 and #8 are much more common.

 

[big al hunter]

I will try the remaining 3.
#4 is 38 special plastic practice ammo from Speer
#6 is 32 S&W Short. Or just 32 S&W as it was originally.
#8 I'm thinking is 7x57

 

[Scorch]

Is #4 a USAC 38 Special plastic cased ammo?

#8 looks like 7.7X58
