First one to correctly ID all the cartridges wins big respect and admiration.   | ||
| Jramsey |
a few more to figure out.   | ||
| 99savage |
Not a gun freak but let's see: Left to Right * Short, fat guy 45 GAP?? * 9mm of some kind * 40 cal of some kind * 45 Auto * 7.62 Lugar or Tokarav or Mauser * 30 or 32 shot shell of some kind - curious about this one * 357 nag * 5.62 NATO * 308 or NATO equal - not sure might have a rim * 30-06 - 7mm Mauser in background | ||

Another one  | ||
| Nukeblue |
jramsey, what's the velocity for the one on the right? lol | ||
| Alter1 |
Ahh the 7.62x54R, my favorite rifle round. Huge muzzle blast in broad daylight. Don't see these too often. | ||
| Brumbear |
I'll try from right to left 7.62 nato, 30.06,5.56 nato,30 cal 30/30, 30 cal carbine,9mm,45 cal,10mm,40 cal.,380 | ||
| Jramsey |
jramsey, what's the velocity for the one on the right? lol A little bit faster then my 6mm/22 Hornet Long Range.  } 50 BMG on the left for comparison.} | ||
| 01x1buell |
well all i know is that the one on left is .380 then a 9mm, and 3rd from right is 7.62/39 | ||
| Nukeblue |
holy $hit i'm cracking up! | ||
| Blake |
Hints: Stripper clip in background is populated with same cartridge as 2nd from right, which has so far stumped everyone. Sixth from left is no shot-shell, and is a live round, bullet included. Louis (99Savage) has best score so far at 6-1/3 hits out of 11. | ||
| Blake |
Different view and lighting...  | ||
| Byrdock |
Really hard to tell w/o some thing to reference by, but I'll try R-L 9mm makarov 9mm 40S&W 45ACP 7.63 Mauser 7.62 Nagant 357 mag 223 303 30-06 | ||
| Aesquire |
I think Byrdock has them right except I think the .303 is a 7.62x54R Russian. The one on the left might be a .380 or a makarov. I can't tell. (Message edited by aesquire on December 21, 2012) | ||
| Thumper74 |
I'm going with Makarov. I've never seen steel case .380. | ||
| Just_ziptab |
Here's one for you..........name that bullet.About a rare as can be and no,they are not the more common 16" artillery round. I know of no others....anywhere. Probably worth a small fortune.Weight,603 pounds each,empty.  | ||
| 86129squids |
Coor's? | ||
| Ourdee |
Far right .308? Is it a soft point? | ||
| Ourdee |
#7 from left, .41 magnum. | ||
| Ourdee |
#4 from left, .45 ACP | ||
| Ourdee |
Stripper clip, 7.62 x .54 Mosin Nagant | ||
| Blake |
Bydrock scores 7 of 11 (Actually 7 of 10 since the hint about the stripper clip, but bonus for naming the clip's assoc. firearm.) Aesquire ups that to 8-1/2. Hint: 1st on left: JB08 | ||
| Slaughter |
Clip almost looks like 6mm Mauser (used to have a '95 Chilean Mauser in 6mm - weirdest dang action - cocked on OPENING the bolt) | ||
| Ferris_von_bueller |
I'm looking for some depleted uranium ammo. | ||
| J2blue |
Is the second from right the 6.5 grendel? | ||
| Blake |
Patrick correctly named the 2nd on the right. | ||
| Aesquire |
Left to right. 9mm Makarov 9mmx19 ( Luger/Parabellum ) .40 S&W .45 ACP 7.63 mauser 7.62x38R m1895 nagant ( gas seal ) .357 or .41 magnum. ( can't tell. Lose the point... ) 5.56x45/.223 Remington 7.62x54R Russian 8mm mauser. | ||
| Aesquire |
The 6.5 grendel has the same overall length as the .223. I'm stumped on the left one, 9mm makarov or .380 ACP? jramsey's got some weird ones. How about this?  | ||
| Jramsey |
GyroJet? | ||
| Sifo |
GyroJet, one of the coolest failed rounds. Will bounce right off the bad guy at short distance! | ||
| Aesquire |
Dang. I was hoping for a few wrong guesses!  | ||
| Sifo |
I only knew about it because you've talked about it before. Blake's list is a tough one. Some of those aren't exactly standard fare at the range. | ||
| Blake |
Patrick, You've regressed. Fallen back to 7-1/2. But wait, your getting warmer. Can't believe the hint earlier didn't give it away for you. Russian brand with steel case may be confusing. 1st on left 2nd hint: John B 1908 5th on left hint: Rusky take on JB'11 but with some added innovations; also case marking same as abbr. for famous deadly IOM motorcycle race. Far right hint: 1906 | ||

At some point each round has been correctly identified, but not in any single post. From L to R: 1) .380 FMJ RN (Russian-made Tulammo steel cased, cheapo Walmart ammo, very unreliable in a Ruger LCP.) 2) 9mm Lugar FMJ FN (Case has marking "F C"; found it at the pistol range. Only flat nose in 9mm Lugar I've seen. Home load? 3) .40 S & W JHP (180 gr Federal HST, law enforcement surplus, superb defensive round, very cost effective when you can find them, like $23/box of 50.) Why are most (virtually all) .40 S&W FMJ bullets of the flat-nosed (FN) form? To help avoid confusing with 9mm and .45 ACP, which in FMJ are virtually all round nosed (RN)? 4) .45 ACP (230 gr +P Federal HST HP "Premium" retail version gets you the nickel plating.) 5) 7.62x25mm Tokarev FMJ RN (85 gr Serbian-made "prvi partizan" (PPU), high velocity 1,650+ FPS pistol round) 6) 7.62x38R Nagant FMJ FN (Russian surplus, really intriguing gas-sealing revolver round; revolver & cartridge date all the way back to 1885.) 7) .357 Magnum JHP (125 gr Winchester Silvertip HP) 8) .223 Rem FMJ (found at range all crusty black with a light strike on the primer) 9) 7.62x54R Steel Core, Lead Encased FMJ (147 gr Soviet surplus, half-century+ old, corrosive, same cartridge in use since 1891. Still in use today. I'm curious how much mild steel it can penetrate. I know the lead core .30-06 at close range will go straight through 1/2" A36 structural steel plate like it was butter. 10) .30-06 (180 gr Rem "Core-Lokt" pointed soft point) 11) the stripper-clip is populated with the 7.62x54R described in #9 above. Loading the clip into the rifle upside-down makes first round's rim catch on rim of round below; big problem if in a hurry to shoot. |
