tmkoivistoMost beautiful calibers
Tell what are two most beautiful calibers on your mind. My personal opinion is, small bore and big bore:
.22 Hornet and .465 H&H Magnum
PS. I don't own gun for those calibers, i'll just like them look.

N E 450 No2I nominate the 450 No2 Nitro Express, or its near twin the 475 Nitro Express.
Invented in the early 1900's, they have a very thick rim.
They have a modern looking shoulder and neck.
The brass case is 3 1/2 inches long.
All in all they are very impressive looking rounds.

WinkLike jens poulsen, I think the 505 Gibbs leaves you with no doubt in your mind.

Savage99I am astounded to find the .22 Hornet mentioned. I have no use for that round. Handsome is as handsome does.
I always admired the 22 Lindahl Chucker.

JatimaticI like Lahti L-39`s cartridge. .50BGM looks so small compared to Lahti`s shell.
For those who didn`t recognise caliber, shell dimensions are 20mm X 138B Solothurn Long

MarkI don't really have any use for one, but like Buckeye I feel the 300 H&H is a pretty classy looking round.

I agree, BUT....I always wished they had come up with a bullet a bit more sleek than a simple cone-topped cylinder. I wonder what a VLD-type shell would do for those 2k shots?
Still, ya gotta admit that 1543gn at 3380fps is beautiful anyway you look at it and especially when you need it
