Guess that cartridge

[Clayton]

Its a real cartridge, I didn't make it up.

Oh yeah, I know. Warren Page. Way back when. We were both considerably younger back then.

I have a diploma signed by him. Back in the early 70's I went to a packer and guide school in Montana and he was on the advisory board or something so he signed it.

 

[Clayton]

WOW. He was kind of a hero to me. You ever read "The Accurate Rifle"? He got me hooked on the .224 Centerfire stuff and I'm still burning powder in them.

 

[sestoppelman]

I believe I have my dads copy of that. Also have another book of his somewhere.

 

[Clayton]

Still have my copy. Never bought One Man's Wilderness.

Another book from back then is Jack O'Connor's The Hunting Rifle. Still read it now and then.

 

[sestoppelman]

One Mans Wilderness is the one I have. I also have the Africa Hunting anthology he edited. I have all of O'Connors books and all of Elmer Keiths as well, except for Safari.

 

[Clayton]

Nice collection. We probably need to let this thread go back to it's intended theme.

 

[sestoppelman]

All it takes is for someone to post another mystery round and boom, we are there.

 

[Clayton]

Yep, and @Jimbob still has one in play.

 

[Jimbob]

Well gents it is bigger in calibre than the 220 Sooper Pooper, smaller in calibre than a 7mm, and larger cases than the 264 Win Mag.
It is also British.

 

[Jim Rea]

.240 magnum rimless, eh

 

[Jimbob]

Sooooo close mate but not quite

 

[BobT]

Sooooo close mate but not quite

I'll take a stab, .240H&H ?

 

[Jimbob]

I'll give you that. It's a 244 H&H Magnum.

 

[ChrisG]

That kinda sucks. I was hoping to get schooled a bit. @TTundra I'll offer one up in replacement to keep your challenge going?

The top is a 7x57 (with a smashed partition pushed in)

The bottom is an 8 bore loaded shotgun shell.

What's the one in the middle?

I would call it a 577/450 Martini Henry.

 

[ChrisG]

OK, here's one for ya. With the '06 on the left and a .35 Rem on the right, what's the middle round?
