Guess these calibers?

[Frank RW]

Picture I took some time ago, as a rather incomplete collection of rounds I've shot in my life.

But now, for what might be a fun test, thought I'd share it here. What's your guess?

Not sure how I can offer the "answer sheet", without it being a spoiler, so a few days from now I'll post another image here with what they all are. Try to resist viewing it and coming back with a perfect score.

22lr, 380, 9mm, 40, 45, 38spl, 357mag, 44mag, 300blk,12ga,308 win, looks like a .224 in a belted mag case?, 50 bmg

 

[v0lcom13sn0w]

after reading @No_Regerts answer i already know my answer of 44mag is incorrect

The clue is the color of the polycarbonate tip and radiused shoulder....

Yep, its a 25 in a belted magnum with radiused shoulders. Roy's favorite.

Fun test...
But after asking my favorite shooting buddies :
Daniel Boone...
David Crockett...
And
Kit Carson...

We are all stumped.. And disappointed that there is no patch and round ball in the picture...

I think this list nails it, L is the most difficult but definitely a Weatherby identified by the double radius shoulder, might be .270 WM both have the same oal.

 

[Mr Smith]

pretty sure L is the one that's gonna throw most... it definitely looks like a weatherby magnum but which size of projectile cause there were quite a few that looked near identical... it's definitely a 7mm or smaller though comparing it next to that 308. but the weatherby mag cases are taller and wider than a 308 case and have that steep shoulder and longer neck which gives it away.

Yep, .277 vs .284, hard to tell a difference from the photo.

As long as you get them in the correct firearm you'll be okay.
