Can you identify these rounds?

[jayd]

Alex buying a Swedish Mauser recently made me think of mine and how much I like the round out of all I shoot

See if you can identify the 6.5x55 swede
Hint....it's the sleek one

Also, all but 2 of these rounds have seen action in War,
Hint...from the late 1800s on
Can you identify the ones that don't belong with their "veteran" brothers?

 

[CajunTim]

3rd and 4th from the left?

 

[jayd]

3rd and 4th from the left?

Thanks for playing Name that round Tim but
both of those rounds have seen "the Elephant"

The 3rd from the left seeing action against the fanitical Moros in the Phillpines and also it rode up Kettle hill to "civilize" the Cubans

The 4th, saw action against the "Bear" in the winter of 1939

Alright, who's next?

 

[LouisianaCarry]

I sure as heck know the last one!

"Hint...from the 1800s on"

As opposed to the wide array of 1700's centerfires??

LouisianaCarry, there may not be people as "well read" as yourself
so a hint was given as to a time frame
(actually it should read late 1800s)

[SigSauerP220]

im going to have to go ahead and say the 4th from the left (6th from the right)

 

[jayd]

You are correct sir!

That's a 6.5x55 139gr round for a swedish Mauser

The 6.5 long skinny bullets have a higher than averge Ballistic Coefficient that maintains long range speed, Excellent sectional density for superior penetration and accuracy far better than some larger faster bullets do at 500+ yards


Now, who can identify the rounds that have not gone to war?

Hint, one was gramps fav and the other a military wildcat

 

[CajunTim]

?

 

[SigSauerP220]

lol the gramps round would be the 30-30 (3rd from right)? and im thinking the wildcat would be a .243? (4th from the left)

 

[jayd]

Correct again !
Here are the identities of each round
(funny how you can scrounge up rounds to rifles long gone)

 

[SigSauerP220]

lol sweet. so what did i win?

 

[jayd]

You won 2 tickets to the historic and always exciting 9th ward of New Orleans La.!!!!!!!
If you're lucky you may see some of the wildlife there
(4 legged scurring about and if you stay up late you may even see wild and untamed 2 legged ones also!!)

[muzzlebrake]

jayd is mistaken

the 2nd and 3rd rounds from left are mislabeled. the 30-40 krag has the longer neck. most cordially, vic

Welcome aboard muzzlebrake

You are right sir!

I was just trying to see if you guys were paying attention

Actually this is what happens when one tries to photoshop a pic at 0530 in the morning before coffee!

The 3rd from the left seeing action against the fanitical Moros in the Phillpines and also it rode up Kettle hill to "civilize" the Cubans aka 30-40 Krag
