Guess that cartridge

[Jimbob]

950 JDJ uses the 20mm Vulcan as a parent I believe.

Give the man a cigar! 950 JDJ it is. As unrealistic of a sporting cartridge it is, they sure are cool!

Is that the goofy thing based on the shortened 20mm case? IIRC I read about it some years ago and threw up my hands. Have no idea what it's called.

Sorry, hit the enter button a little late.

 

[drhall762]

You'd be right Drhall. It's the 7.92x94 Patronen; 225gr at 4000fps. I would imagine penetration on game would be adequate

The 7.92x107 is interesting also.

I would imagine it would be fairly flat shooting as well. Good bean field gun.

I believe one of the other experiments involved a squeeze bore arrangement of some kind.

It's basically a smokeless, rimless, 4-bore (near as damn it). I've toyed with the idea myself but I don't need that kind of power. I would like that kind of bore size though!

Anothe odd one

 

[drhall762]

Hard to tell without scale. I'm going to guess it is some sort of wildcat pistol cartridge but beyond that???

 

[Jimbob]

It is indeed. Here is one next to a 357 Magnum

 

[Jim Rea]

Would that be the .500 Wyoming Express cartridge?

 

[Jimbob]

Ding ding ding! Give that man a point!

Thought it may take longer for someone to get it but then again it is a little distinctive with that belt.

 

[Jim Rea]

Yep, the belt was the giveaway.......

 

[Jimbob]

Unusual cartridge really. Fills a need that didn't really exist in my opinion.

 

[Jimbob]

Annnnnnd another obviously nothing to establish scale with here but they're all big...

 

[thriller]

450/500 416/500 and 500 nitro express by chance?

 

[Jimbob]

Think BIGGER

 

[drhall762]

The one with the long neck is a .577/700 Westley Richards or it might be .700/.577 WR. Always confused me. The one on the far right is probably near .700 and beats me about the one on the left. Probably a something .700 as all the basic case look the same to me.

 

[Jimbob]

You're close enough. Far right is 700 nitro, left is 577 Sahar (700/577), middle is 500 Rafiki (700/500).
All but the 700 Nitro were indeed created by WR.

 

[drhall762]

I didn't know they were all WR. I'll add that to my base.

 

[Jimbob]

The 500 Rafiki is potent like, 570gr at 2420fps is very impressive.

Found the Municion reference to it. Impressive Ballistics. Wonder what the recoil figures are on a DR.
