Anyone bored? Lets play an ammo ID game :)

Hmm..

2-21 = .44 American?
2-26 = 10mm Auto

3-5 = .35 Remington
3-6 = 7.62x45
3-9 = .243 Winchester
3-31 = .264 Winchester Magnum
3-32 = .30-06 (can't remember if green tip is frangible or incind.)

2-21.. so close! 3-6 is pretty close too in terms of caliber.
This time around you got- 2-26 is the 10mm Auto, 3-9 is the .243 Winchester, and 3-32 is the .30-06 Springfield.
For the 30-06, I'm not exactly sure what type it is. It has a really light powder load, the bullet itself is not metal (not much weight to it either), but rather some sort of compressed material like with a plastic it seems, with the white and green tip. I'll see if I can figure it out...

EDIT- The 30-06 is frangible T44 ammo. "They were actually developed during WWII by Duke and Princeton Universities as part of a government contract. The intent was to develop a bullet that could be used to train bomber gun crews by allowing them to fire at a real aircraft. It took several years to arrive at a suitable bullet (and an armored aircraft for that matter). The common mottled grey-green bullet is actually a mixture of powdered lead and Bakelite, officially referred to as RD-42-93. Usually found with green and white bullet tips, they can sometimes appear with either no tip color or just white tip. In the majority of cases, these are simply rounds that have escaped the complete painting process. Those loaded on commercial cases (as opposed to having a military headstamp) might, repeat "might", be from the early experiments at Duke and Princeton."

Ok, this morning's tries:

1-7 = .22 Winchester Automatic (wild guess here)
1-8 = .32 ACP
1-10 = .32 ACP (one of them must be, right?)
2-21 = .44 Russian
3-25 = 7x57 Mauser
3-28 = 7.92x57 Mauser

Another nice run! All but 1-10 (but you're close!).
1-7 is the .22 Winchester Automatic (good call), 1-8 is the .32 Automatic Colt Pistol, 2-21 is the .44 Smith & Wesson Russian (normally I'd just call it the .44 Russian, but the headstamp has a S&W too.. Same thing either way ), 3-25 is the 7x57mm Mauser, and 3-28 is the 7.92x57mm Mauser (aka 8mm Mauser). Nice work again!

Lunch-hour straw-grasping:

1-10 = .320 revolver
1-19 = .380 revolver
1-24 = 20 gauge 2 3/4" paper case
1-25 = 12 gauge 2 3/4"
1-26 = .410 2 1/2"
1-27 = 12 gauge 3"
1-28 = .410 3"
1-29 = 12 gauge 3 1/2"
1-33 = 45-70 blank
1-36 = .22 LR blank
1-37 = .22 tack-driving blank?
1-38 = .22 short blank
1-39 = .22 BB blank

 

[Wierzbowski]

1-21 = .38 ACP
3-5 = .35 Remington?
3-26 = 6.5 Mannlicher Schoenauer?

 

[unklekippy]

3-34 is a 7mm STW. I thought that would be one of the more obvious ones. LuftPost-Can you give us a list of ones NOT yet identified. I could go through all the posts, but I like it better when you do the work Kip

I am enjoying this.. Sit at the computer for a few min and post the results, and back to work grinning.
Alright, no go on 1-10, 1-19, 1-37, 1-38
Got the rest right! 1-24 20 Gauge 2 3/4", 1-25 12 Gauge 2 3/4", 1-26 .410 Bore 2 1/2", 1-27 12 Gauge 3", 1-28 .410 Bore 3", 1-29 12 Gauge 3 1/2", 1-33 .45-70 blank, 1-36 .22 Long Rifle blank, 1-39 .22 BB blank

Nice!!! Nailed it! 3-34 is indeed a 7mm Shooting Times Westerner.
Listed the non-ID'd rounds directly under the picture

 

[Wierzbowski]

2-6 = .50 Beowulf?
2-13 = .480 Ruger?
2-23 = 8mm Gasser or 8mm French Ord.?

Agh, this adventure has made me realize how many different rounds I'm still missing
Didn't get any this time!

 

[Wierzbowski]

That's not good. Are 1-19, 1-20, 1-21, 2-13, and 2-23 rimmed cartridges?

Is 3-7 a .45-70?

Good eye. 1-19, 1-20, 1-21, 2-13 & 2-23 are all rimmed. 3-7 sure is a .45-70!

 

[unklekippy]

A few stabs here. Is 1-21 a .45 auto? 2-4 looks like a .300 WSM. Are 2-6 and 2-13 Leverevolution ammo? Is 2-23 a 9x23? 3-8 a .243? 3-12 a .308?

 

[unklekippy]

Is 3-31 a 6.5x284?

1-21 seems to be a toughy.. several stabs at it, but none right yet
2-6 & 2-13 are LEVERevolution! Negative on 2-23. 3-8 is on the the right track, in that its based off the .308 cartridge just like the .243 is.
3-12 is the .308 Winchester, which is also my favorite round to shoot, the food for my favorite rifle, the M14/M1A!

 

[LuftPost]

Is 3-31 a 6.5x284?

Nope

 

[Wierzbowski]

Is 1-19 9mm Rimmed?
2-23 = .32 H&R Mag?
3-5 = .32 Winchester Special?

 

[Wierzbowski]

2-6 = .444 Marlin
2-13 = .44 Mag

 

[unklekippy]

I'm going with .444 Marlin for 2-6 and .44mag for 2-13. Is 1-21 a 10mm Auto? Kip
