Old War Horses
« on: July 22, 2012, 06:56:26 AM »
Other than the 22 Rf and the 5.56 blank shown for size, all of the cartridges shown were used as Military cartridges in North America, 

Can you identify them?




hint they go from left to right in order of bullet diameter.

I see a 43 Spanish, a 45-70-500, a 50-70, and you got me on the rest. 58 rimfire maybe next? No idea about the others.

By North America I suppose you mean the whole continent and not just USA, huh?

Nobade got the three.  The next is a 57 Snider Shot cartridge, then a 57 Snider, then an original paper and brass foil wrapped 577 Snider, and last a 58 Berdan.

Thanks LC.  Nice rounds to have in one's collection ... you wouldn't happen to have a 9.5x47R and 10.5x47R, would you?  Need to see the bullets and confirm some case dimensions

Somewhere I have a 10MM Russian Berdan. About as long as the 43 Spanish.  Paper patch bullet.
