What is it? Ammo Quiz
Capt. like gun quizzes so here's a quiz on ammo. I just finished loading a few rounds for one of my old guns and cleaning a couple of others. That got me to thinking about this. I like old guns and anything oddball. Here's the ammo for of few of my old ones. Some are pretty obscure but some should be easy. Some of these are factory loads but I load for all except the first two on the left. Number 5 is a .308 for size comparison. Any guesses?

#s 13&14 look like 44-40 and 38-40. #s 8&9 look like 30-30 and 25-35. #6 looks like a 38-55.

Re: What is it? Ammo Quiz
Capt is good. #5 is .308.
Shooter got two of them. #13 & 14 are the .44-40 and .38-40.
#1 is a European round. #2, 3, and 11 were military rounds.

Re: What is it? Ammo Quiz
I would guess .45-70 on #11, but it looks a little short.

.50-70? Although, I didn't know that round was military.

Re: What is it? Ammo Quiz
I'll guess that #7 might be the 7.65 X 53 Argentine round. Looks very similar if it's not.

Yep. It's a .50-70. US adopted the .50-70 in the Allin Conversion Model 1866 Trapdoor rifle and used it through 1873 when the Model 1873 Trapdoor (.45-70) was introduced.

Very close. I didn't think anyone would get close to that one. It's actually the 9.3x72R. That's what my drilling is chambered in. #'s 4-15 are all American cartridges.
