Guess these calibers?

[Mr Smith]

I'll give ya that .308/7.62x51 for letter "K" Mr Smith... although, from what little I understand, it's not quite right.

A .308 Winchester doesn't seem to be exactly the same as NATO 7.62x51...
7.62 NATO vs .308 Winchester Ammo, What's The Difference?

knit picking are we?! LOL yes there's a little case pressure difference but that's like knit picking over 5.56x45 vs .223 lol about the same difference. (except the nato in that particular case is hotter rather than the commercial round)

Thanks Ravenswood. I enjoy stuff like this. I've been something of an amateur cartridge collector for 30+ years. I used to get a real kick out of digging through the ubiquitous box/bin/can of random loose rounds at gun shows, them spending the afternoon with calipers and Cartridges Of The World to figure out what they were. It's not a terribly impressive collection because I've never spent more than a few dollars for a single specimen.

 

[CLT65]

I could line up a few myself and continue the game, but it might not be much fun for most. I've got a lot of oddball, obscure stuff.

If I limited it to cartridges I shoot... well I still have a fair amount of oddball, obscure stuff.

 

[Mr Smith]

I got some easy ones...
Maybe we'll be knit picky with it too! LOL

 

[Mr Smith]

Sir, it's nitpicky.

I like to think of it as an old gran making a scarf lol

I saw that scrolling through but wanted to give it a shot on my own. Also @ravenswood said you got three wrong on your latest attempt just below where he said you were so close. He may have been saying the guess of 6.8 SPC was close but I wasn't sure.

Who's got the oldest gun I can (safely!) shoot? (worthy of a new thread)

The oldest one of mine that I shoot fairly often is my J.Henry Trade Rifle ...it was made around 1800
You are more than welcome to shoot that ....

I've never shot something older than I am... and I'm 52. Probably nothing older than the M16 from my 80s Army tours.
Probably something I should put on my bucket-list... Who's got the oldest gun I can (safely!) shoot? (worthy of a new thread)

Well, if we ever make it out to North Fork together, you can shoot my 30-30, which was minted in 1958 or so. @Reno911 has (or had) a Mosin that was probably ancient, even though he tricked it out.

Ya ya, no doubt, lotsa fun! I own that same book, a great resource worthy of any gun-owner's bookshelf...

Wow, they're up to the 15th edition! My first was the 5th edition, brand new at the time.

You've got me beat, Andy. My oldest is a Mosin Nagant from 1897.

I think most of my guns are older than me, and I'm not young anymore. I like old guns.

I wouldn't get rid of that one.

I too have an old 30-30, a Winchester 94 that's a few generations of old.

It's too cold and too rainy, but we need a get together for some trigger time.

That one got my deer last year...75 yards..one shot off hand...The deer took about 3-4 steps and down he went.
Its a .58 caliber smoothrifle...my load is 60 grains of 2f , .15 patch and a .570 round ball.

Agreed. Still looking for a 22 to play battleship.
Picked up a few other toys along the way, we gotta run them through the wringer.

geeze 100gr at 3600fps

Yeah, I've got one of those. Flat-shootin' like you never saw.

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

[SparksFly]

That was good fun! I am smacking myself because part of me thought about the .45 long colt for H.

 

[Mr Smith]
