Does anyone know what kind of rimfire the last cartridge on the right is? I was lucky enough to pick up a box of about 75 rounds out of an old cartridge collection and thought I would share some of the more interesting ones.
Going from left to right. A 30 Luger cartridge necked down to 22 cal. A "22 Super Squat"? Next is a UMC 44 Russian wooden dummy and the next is a REM-UMC 38 S&W wooden dummy. Then a WRA 38 SPL Tear Gas round (not often seen)
Then the next two are 45 ACP shot shells followed by a REM-UMC 45 Tracer, a 22LR Tracer, then a 4MM Rimfire blank and the last one is appears to be a CB ball loaded in a brass rimfire bottle necked case which has a badge containing a letter "C" in it.
Anyone know what the little one is? Heres a close up of it. Pardon my lack of photography skills.

Neat!

What's the question?


Shot-placement is king. Adequate penetration is queen. Everything else is angels dancing on the heads of pins.

Sorry Erich, I posted the photo before I finished editing it.
Any idea who the little fellow is on the end. A hunting round for a cockroach maybe?

Surely someone on this forum knows about the little rimfire.

I've read that the early French Flobert "gallery" cartridges were made from rimfire caps with a lead shot inserted in the front. That is what it looks like.

J/T,
Can a 32 shot Ti J frame Centennial, be far behind then?

John traveler, I think you've got it. I looked up the French Flobert rounds and they are very similar. They also have a large assortment of various unique head stamps on the bases. Thanks for your help.
