Best looking round

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

Someone posted some mystical round named the .45 Aggie. (I left this one alone)

@BeeMaa pointed out the projectile is of larger diameter than the case itself. (He's a Yank that likes our Humour)

I couldn't help but write some more nonsense to legitimise the round that drops in from the muzzle by default.

There was a .243 Myra based on a .222 case built by Arthur Langsford.. one of several wildcats of his design.

@CBH Australia
Chris Arthur did the 243,25,270 ans 30 Myra. The 30 being the for runner of the 300BLK.
Does the 45/222 headspace on the neck or is the projectile jam into the lands to fire. The trajectory wouldn't even be rainbow. If the projectiles did make it out the barrel the would have a range of a few feet. Straight down.

@rdog I mention nonsense and Bob chimes in.
You will get used to it.
Today, I learned something new from Bob. There were several other "Myra" cartridges that I was not aware of.
I do know he pioneered some wildcat rimfires that were named the "Tini More" and the "Mini Mite" and the "Extruder Rimfire"
I was fortunate to have many conversations with him when I was young. Some details are sketchy but I also learned a lot first hand from the man who invented them.

The 450 Rigby Rimless with a 550gr Woodleigh RN looks damn good.

But I must say, the 450#2 is just a giant and damn sexy!

@CBH Australia
He also got hold of primed 22 magnum cases and necked them to 17 cal. I think that was called the mighty mite. The 17HMR over 50 years before Hornady came up with the idea. No one has managed to make an extruder barrel since him. A 22 lr that ended up putting a 40gn 17 cal bullet out after it was fired.
A man well before his time. The same as Nev Naughton with his fieldman rifles. An aluminium barrel with a steel insert. They were ugly as sin but accurate as all get out.
Geeze I'm full of useless information and shit. A lot of people think I'm just full of the second one.

Can a rifle chambered in 450NE#2 safely fire a 450NE? I see there is quite a difference in the rim thickness making for a possible light strike of the firing pin on the primer, along with the obvious OAL differences. Just wondering.

 

[DWB]

I doubt it... the 450#2 dwarfs the 450NE

Being a submariner on a boomer...going with the Trident D5. Launched from underwater and it never gets wet...how's that for sexy!

Coolest round ever, one bullet kill 100 people.

Coolest round ever, one bullet kill 100 people.

I certainly hope this never happens, but 100 people isn’t even close to the expectations of launching this. The Trident D5 is an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile…capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads that can be independently targeted to different locations. Just one of these warheads would make Hiroshima look like a firecracker. This is where the term “mutually assured destruction” comes from, because the US is not the only country with this technology.

It looks like a cool round, but only when launched for training.

NATO pretty much quit using the APDS prior to the Gulf War and had moved on to the Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APFSDS). Probably what is actually in the picture. The actual projectile in flight looks like an arrow with fletching. Most are currently made of Tungsten, though depleted uranium is also employed and is very effective. The APDS was developed by the British toward the end of WWII, but I do not know what the Israelis were using during either the 6-Day War or Yom Kippur. I can testify that M1A1 main guns easily cut through T62 and T72 class MBT's well beyond the effective range of their guns.

I've wondered if u pick up a big shell like that can u feel the difference like depleted uranium

Oh and 470ne or the 375hh with old silver tips

@Two Tracks
That my son is pure BLASPHEMY.
putting the number 6.5 anywhere near the BELOVED AND REVERED WHELEN may result in severe dismemberment by Whelen fans.
The only places the 6.5 numbers should be used is with the 6.5x55 Swede or when discussing the displacement of you new V8.
You need need to give your self a good talking to and say 10 hail Mary's and our fathers for your transgressions of applying 6.5 to the Whelen.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Bob

Now, now...the 6.5 Mannlicher Schoenauer has killed truckloads of big critters with a long for caliber bullet.

You win--for posting it beside that cat track!

Just to make you happy mate a 35 Whelen loaded with a 310 gn Woodleigh and 62 grains of H4350 View attachment 447400

THE most EFFICIENT round in history!

In the No4 I load 51 gns of 2213sc behind a 117grain SST for around 3,000 fps. The 100gn ttsx achieves a comfortable 3,200fps without straining.
My P14 loads are a lot quicker.
Bob

Too close to a 243 isn't it?

Photo?

They were selling them at the gun show--I bought one and thought I knew exactly where I put it...but no photo, and I SURE don't know how it was accomplished!

@steve white
The pissant 243 is pushing shit up hill to get tat with an 87gn let alone a 100gn. With a 100gn your lucky to get 2,700. A totally useless round pretending to be something it ain't.
