556 vs 300 Win Mag - brass comparison

[Trekbike]

It kind of makes you chuckle when you see how small a 556 really is.

So size does matter?

You can almost stick the 5.56 brass inside the .300 Win mag. But you know the 5.56/.223 is nothing more than a killing machine.

Not iif you're a good shot. lol

That looks like a 105, not a 40

Where'd you get that shell??!!?? I'd love to have one to use as a trash can or something.

Correct, 105mm.  Oops.

 

Unfortunately its not mine, belongs to a coworker.  Some family had it in England and he brought it back.  If you stick your head in the shell and sniff, you can still smell the cordite.  He didn't get a single question coming back through customs.  He says another relation has an 8" shell casing, but it was too big to fit in his luggage.

I would love to see a reload formula for that.

That 105 shell kinda makes everything else look, well...inadequate.

The 5.56 only looks small 'til you're hit with it.

Sorry, working around tanks/artillery part of my life cause a plethora of irrelevant information to spew out from time to time :)
