I haven't done this in a while. See how well you can guess each caliber that I load for.

Of corse the grand prize is bragging rights that you know your stuff.

Ok the ones missed are 30 Herret & 7mm-08

That is a good eye. Surprised ya got the 225 Win & the 32-20. There are still 2 oddball ones left.

I have something that is chambered in most of these calibers as well so they looked familiar.  The 32-20 and the .225 Winchester were easy as well as the .22-250.  As for the 22-250 you gotta love that big fat 250-3000 Savage case with the little .224 caliber bullet on top.  The two I haven't figured out were wild ass guesses the first time but I will give it one more try.

 

So for my last guess I'm going with .256 Win Mag and 260 Remington.

You are the man. But still one incorrect. Yes the smaller one is a 357 mag necked down to a 25 cal to be a 256 win mag. The one that is left is the ole 6.5 jap to finis it off.

So the list is :
9mm, 45acp, 38spl, 256 win mag, 32-20win, 357 mag, 41 mag, 44 mag, .223, 22-250, 225 win, 30-30, 35rem, 44-70, 444marlin, 243 win, 7.62x54r, 6.5 jap, 30-06, 7mm rem mag,& the ole 12 ga.

That is a nice collection you have there.  I have always been drawn to odd calibers.  The 6.5 Jap was a tough one.  There are several calibers you could line up in that size range that would be hard to identify by just a picture.

 

I remember way back in the day I was in a gun shop and like always I'm drawn to the gun that does not fit in with the others. It was the .256 Ruger Hawkeye single shot.  I left with a Ruger that day but not the Hawkeye.  Another one of those I wish I had it to do over again stories.
