5th one 375H&H

i got that 1 also....

#2...300 H&H flanged
#3 9.3 X 64
#4 303 british...maybe 30-40 Krag
#5 375 H&H...(I'm with JohnHunt there)
#8 404 Jeffery
#9 470 NE
#11 416 Rigby

someone else correct and take over....this one is tough!

I think Vapo is right, except something doesn't look right on the one he labels .303. No.5 definitely .375, no. 11 absolutely .416 Rigby, .300 flanged I wouldn't bet my life one, he is right on tthe .470 and .404. I'd say no. 1 is 6.5-.284, at least it has a rebated rim like the .284, but looks too long. The one next to the Rigby is a .50-70, how's that for a wild guess? No. 7 maybe .375 Whelen? I give up.

1- 7x66 VHSE (looks bigger than 7mm to me though?)
2- .300H&H Flanged
3- 8x68
4- .333 Jeff Flanged ?
5 - .375 H&H
6- 9,3x70 ??
7- 10,75x68
8- .404J
9- .470 NE
10- one of the old 11mm Euro miliary cartridges?
11- a.458 or .470 class on a Rigby case? (I think Ray below is right..a .505 Gibbs)

1 = 7 x 61mm Norma
2 = 270 Gibbs
3 = 30/06
4 = 7.62 x 54mmR
5 = 375 H&H
6 = 9.3 x 64mm
7 = 400 Whelen
8 = 10.75 x 68mm Mauser
9 = 470 Nitro Express
10 = 577-450 Martini-Henry
11 = 505 Gibbs

This is fun - But also hard!
Some are pure WAGs.
Please give hint on how many right/wrong.

My best guess...


5 375 H&H
6 400 tembo
7 440 mcfarlane
8
9 470 NE
10 45-70 govt
11 505 gibb

Can we get a side shot? How about bottom?


John

no 10; 12x44R?

Boo hoo hoo I got it wrong!
see below.

I guess 6 may be a .400Tembo -makes sense for the SA/US wildcat (although could be ZIM/US wilcat too, that cartridge just seems no bigger cal than the .375?

Is #4 is a 7.62x54 Soviet necked up a touch to become an 8.2x53R Finnish??.

Is #2 a 7x75R vom Hofe Super Express?

Hi,
Good answers. Some of the calibers are not so common.
JohnHunt you are right, No 5 is .375 H&H
vapodog; 5, 8 and 9 is right.
kayaker;
No 1 is 7x66 von hofe Super Express! -Good!
3,4,5,7 & 8 is also right!
Ray;
5, 8,9 and 11 is right!
JohnHunts second guess;
5,6,9 and 11 is right!
oldun, Very close, but you have to be exact!!
kayaker -your'e right; The TEMBO it is.
lawndart -nope!
jonnyreb; No 2 is 7x75R von Hofe Super Express

(The calibers goes from smalleet to biggest...)

Husky

Ok, is it more accurately, the 12.17x44R and the only black powder cartridge case shewn?

husky, do you own a rifle in 7x75R vom Hofe Super Express?

oldun,
Cartridge no 10 is a 12,7x44R for old Remington rolling block.
