I once saw a .50 Browning Machine Gun round necked down to .17 caliber on display at a gun show.....never did see the gun...

 

[Qball]

How about 9mm for the Galand revolver?

Just wish i had a revolver for the cartrigdes

 

[Bill Bates]

I have a .700 H&H Nitro Express in my collection. Interesting to look at but I don't have any interest in ever firing a rifle chambered for the cartridge.

 

[Aticus]

I just found my cartridge for the "Lion King." The whole front of my shirt is getting wet!

 

[rimfired]

Got a couple.
.455 Colt Eley, used to have the gun and a whole box.
11MM Mauser
50-110 Express
Rem UMC brass 12ga 00
and a couple derringer rounds....

You carry that derringer concealed, I presume.

IWB?

Bet you it was an ankle holster?

 

[Roadtrash]

Looks like they might be for a pocket pistol.

I have one of those forearm sliding rigs. Pop right out your sleeve.

the cigar in the background looks pretty interesting as well!. The label looks like a Fuente.

38 Remington?





Anyone know about this one?

I came across a 30-06 size cartridge in my late Father's tool box necked down. Seeing as he worked as a tool and die maker for Hunter of the old C&H reloading equipment fame I was curious as to what it was. It turned out to be a blank probably from his Army days in WWII and not the rare round I hoped for.

 

[mkk41]

Well , got a bunch of old and obsolete cartridges around.

My .401 Herters PowerMag could be considered an oddball round, but since I also have the gun , , ,



The .455 Eley (aka .455 Colt) is not the same or as well known as it's little brother , the .455 Webley.



Got the gun for those too, a 1918 Colt New Service.


Don't have a pic handy , but I do have a few rounds of 6mm SAW. An experimental US light machine gun round from the late 60s-early 70s. Made at the old Frankford Arsenal , they were made with a lacquered steel or aluminum case.

Wow , that one isn't even in Barnes COTW!

Obviously one of the same family as the .35 , .32 , .30 and .25 Remington.

Got a measurement of that bullet dia?

Must've been the 5.7mm eXpress

PO Ackley made the .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer

Didn't quite make his goal of 5000fps

 

[625smith]

Here's one for you. It is based off the .44 mag case.

.357-44 Bain & Davis?

There was a similar .357 Auto Mag.

That is a Fuente Hemingway Between the Lines. It is a great little smoke.

An experimental round for the Remington Model 8 sometime just before WW1 I think. It never made it to production. The single rounds would be very scarce I'd imagine.

I had forgotten that i had posted that one here before and found the thread as I was searching on Yahoo.

And the owner of the gun shop sold all three of them for a dollar as I was researching them.

 

[Faulkner]

I have a few rounds of .30 Court.

 

[Nygma]

I din't have pictures but:
9mm Winchester Mag
357/45 GWM
44 auto mag
45 Winchester magnum
256 Winchester Magnum

You sir are correct .357-44 Bain & Davis

 

[Gunzuki]

I would like to get just 1 gyro-jet round but i understand they are about 100 bucks a round now.

 

[Cyrano]

Got a couple.
and a couple derringer rounds....

Are those 'Derringer rounds' the ammo for that French 37mm infantry howitzer of WW I? Thre's a picture of US soldiers using one in the Belleau Wood, I think.

 

[rimfired]

The one on the left is headstamped "crown over N" and "48" and "PATRONENFABRIK KARLSRUHE, XI 98.

The right one, 37-85 and PDP s 11 1 18 & a flaming bomb.

 

[Alpo]

Could that crown be over an M instead of an N?

Ammunition - Helmen

Next to bottom pic on the page, left hand shell.

>[FONT=&quot]PATRONENFABRIK KARLSRUHE XI 98 47 = Made in Karlsruhe, in the eleventh Month (i.e. November) of 1898, lot number 47. The M under a crown and the use of a number instead of the name of the month indicate that this is a navy cartridge.<[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
