CONTEST: Whats that cartridge?

[kutaho]

You get one chance to guess the cartridges.
Person who gets the most correct wins.

Winner receives 5lb of lead..in the form of #5 shot!!

[kutaho]

I guess i should show the cartridges:o

[OBrien]

all or just any?


I see a .22lr do I win?

[kutaho]

Whom ever gets the most correct. doesn't have to be in order.
you can not guess more then what is shown.
in other words you can't list every cartridge known to man.
so is .22 your quess, or are you testing the waters;)

[OBrien]

Well then my guess is

.22lr
.303british
.22mag
.45 acp
.308win
.357mag
.44 mag
.460wby
.458win
.270win
.30-30 win
.45-70 govt


That is in no specific order.

[358 winchester]

I could be holding it in my hand and wouldn't know theall 22lr, 357mag, 44 mag, 401 winchester, 375 H&H, 6mm Navy, 577 Snyder, 30-06, 308, 22 mag
That is all I can guess so I know I ain't winning bot there is one that could be 11MM mauser not sure.

[kutaho]

You'd think you two have shot a gun or two. :D

[glocknut]

some kind of military anti personell device? Or a reference to what it feels like to pass some small stones...? :eek::eek:

[kutaho]

[kutaho]

Can't blame a guy for trying Mike ;)

[Pistolenschutze]

Only with good brandy:p

So is that your guess:D:D:D

No. I can identify several in the picture. Looks like a .375 H&H on the left end. I see a .45 ACP, .22LR, .357 Mag, .45 LC, .308 Winchester, .22 Mag just for starters. Might be a .404 Jeffrey there too.

[Mr. Nameless]

I can see (I think) a .357, what looks like a 14mm, .577 TRex, .22LR, .30, .50, .303, 30 Win, .44 Mag, .270, but I'm not very good with identifying bullets anyway.

Well, I can say that one of em is a 577/450.
And I do believe that there is a 5.6 Carcaro in there as well

[johnlives4christ]

my next question is... do you have a gun to shoot everything shown?

[kutaho]

I don't own them, but i have had the honor of shooting em.
My friend Ron Stubbs had the collection.
wooo, almost gave out a valuable clue:eek:

[Vladimir]

Bullets. That's my guess. :D

[yellerdawg]

Well kutaho..on my regular site I thought I coul d run it by the experienced reloaders....and old codgers......(key word here is..old codgers..)


This is best response I can deliver....:p



"In my opinion, that "contest" using handloaded, cast bullets and with a pathetic photograph is similar to, "I just farted. What color was it?"

:Dgood luck to others..I barely found half on my own.....tricky...but good quiz.......


EDIT - UPDATE ... :D update..LOL...as I have told u...my great plan might have been to run these by som eknown mentors and "know alls "...and then simply post results...with myself the glorious winner maybe....LOL....but I have had more enjoyment with the way these cartridges have "stumped" some..much more so than identifying them correctly...:) :)

and...another post to me..." When cartridges correctly identified and orderly known....is next contest - Which have Smokeless Powder, and which have Black Powder..?"

This may not be funny to you...but thanx...a riot for me. :D

[kutaho]

If that's your guess, then you must not need the lead:rolleyes:
