It’s amazing the stuff one accumulates over the years - Let’s play Guess the Cartridge

[Shoots100]

lol we need to make a 12GA FH 1000grains 2200 fps. but that after having the molars secured by a special device.

no 30 gunner. I said it is commercial.

I had a 12ga FH. The guy who built it, is the same Guy who designed the 585HE cartridge.
I like shooting the 585 and reloading it is easier too, so I sold the 12ga FH.
300 blackout ?

300 blackout ?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

lol, nop.
BO from hell ....but not due to its performance.

 

[meketrefe]

you guys suck! lol.
Nobody is going to get it? Again a commercial round for the AR.
Don't let these type of threads die by going to the regular political programming.

I'd forgotten about that one. How does (did?) It compare to the 300blk? Frankly I think .30 cal AR15 cartridges are barking up the wrong tree.

It does a bit better because it starts to have some powder capacity. I would say in line with the 7.62x39 or even slightly better.

Yes, the 30 caliber is not efficient in the AR15. The 6.8 is king or certain 6mm even better.

Then the 35 and 375 bores open a new range of possibilities with still pretty decent ballistics.

Pretty similar to what happens with the AR10 or bolt action. The 7mm is king for everything and then the 35 and 375 bores give
magnum killing power w/o the expense of magnums or even supermagnums.

No. It looks bigger but it is a 10rd 5.56 magazine.

 

[fnfalguy]

35 Gunner?

 

[1075tech]

If those are factory loads, they look like Hornady A-Max or ELD. 224 Valkrye

 

[meketrefe]

35 Gunner?

No the gunner is wider 180gr-250gr so in a 5.56 magazine will be obvious.

Hornady yes. Amax No. Not the 22 bore.

Continuing with the cleaning the basement thing. Who else is old enough to remember when it was cheap to buy these?

30-06 AP pull downs?

 

[fnfalguy]

30-06 AP pull downs?

Yep

 

[1075tech]

I have probably 150 loose rounds someone gave me. Don't even have an 06. Maybe I'll have to get one.

 

[meketrefe]

Hornady yes. Amax No. Not the 22 bore.

ok you guys suck. lol

that is the 6x45 loaded with 6mm 87gr hornady v-max. That or the 95gr one, I forgot. one of those.

 

[1075tech]

I have some stuff I'll try to find this weekend and post pics.

 

[fnfalguy]

And here is another one from the depth. At least its only 10 rounds on the belt, so its probably ok with the SAFE act. Neck measure ~26.5mm, and I honestly don’t remember what the heck they are. @meketrefe so, how about using an accelerator to neck this down and see what velocities we can get......j/k of course.

Found it. 25mmx137mm, likely for a bushmaster. I’ll have to keep searching to see if I have a spare Bradley around.
