Medium and big Bores

[Tnhunter]

This is a line-up of my medium and big bore rifle cartridges. Take a gander and see if you can figure what they are. (hint, four of them are actually the same caliber) :wink:

Let's see, from the right:

.450 Marlin
.45/70
.444 Marlin
.375 Win or .38-55
9.3x74R

.35 Whelen
.350 Rem mag
.358 Win
.35 Rem
.338 Federal

I was really guessing on some of those...

I come up with the same list as Guy.

Excellent, only one slight misstep. The cartridge between the .338 Fed and .358 Win is a .356 Win. Other than that you were spot on! And, it is a .375 Win, which is impossible to tell from a 38-55. That 9.3x74R is just a slight bit longer than your .375 H&H.

 

[Guy Miner]

Ah, I'd forgotten entirely about the .356 Win!

 

[SJB358]

Yeah, I was the same as Guy, but when I saw the neck, shoulder and rim, the 356 came to mind.

Great picture Ed! Those are some serious cartridges you have there!
