OK, I'll play. From left to right:

1. 450/400, or something for a .45cal double.
2. 458win
3. 358win?
4. 30/06
5. 25/06
6. 284win.

How did I do?


Just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean they are not out to get you....

No, I'm wrong on #1. That's maybe a 470ne?

No way, had to do better than that. We need something known for a size reference.

Not fair.

Seth,

Not very hard to figure out, it's one of the ugliest calibers, it could have been a 425 W&R Smiler

Most either guessed 425 or 500 Schuler.

If you look at the shoulder on the 460 anyone can tell its a Wby.

Then compare it to the bullet on the 500 it's easy to see that it's 45 caliber.

So you use a set of calipers on both and you will see they bullets are the same diameter.

I will have to get a 43 mauser and try it again in a few months.
