Here are a couple of cartridge photos. They are all from rifles I now own or only recently got rid of. They are what I'd call cartridge families of one type or another. One is a group of SM cartridges and one a grouping of metric cartridges. Thought it might be interesting to see how difficult (easy?) it would be to identify the specific cartridges. I'm sure most here are familiar with most, if not all. Not a ringer in the bunch, but some are not exactly found in every gun cabinet either. Here ya go:

This one is tough. I'll give it a shot:

First photo - Short Mags - 240Magnum Rimless (H&H), 270WSM, 7mmRSAUM, 300RSAUM, 300WSM, 350RemMag.

Second photo - Longer Mags - 6.5RemMag, 257Rob, 7x57, 8x57 (the parent case), 9.3x62.

Did I miss any?

You did very well, as some of these are not exactly houehold names!

For some reason, I was thinking the top were "standard" and the bottom were "metric" derivations. My bad. At least I got most of them on both threads...
 
I'll give it a go :)

6.5 RM, 270 WSM, 7 mm SAUM, 300 SAUM, 300 WSM, 350 RM.

6.5 RM, 6.5X55, 7X57, 8X57, 9.3X62.

Edit I guess I was in the sun too much, it was already answered. :oops:

NOPE! the idea was for lots of members to answer. You did DAMN well, only missing one! :mrgreen:
 
Very cool collection of cartridges.. Those metrics are pretty slick. I had the Short Mag's, but only cause I have a couple of them..
