Excellent Greg  10 out of 12 right. #7and 9 are incorrect. Great knowledge of these calibers.

Is #9 a 303 Savage? I recall you're a Savage guy. The pointed Silvertip bullet and a rimmed cartridge don't go together. Is it handloaded?

#7) 32 H&R Magnum?

#9 is a 30-40 Krag   #7 is not the 38 special you seek but a common Rd used yrs ago. (Last hint) 11 out 12 I know you'll get it

No way to know that without looking at the headstamp. This drove me nuts. I'm glad you told us what it was.

I am a gun nut.....especially for old guns. I think I can pull something out of the safe that'll fire every one of those except the two belted magnums.

 

These are fun exercises. Thanks for posting them.

Someone occasionally does the on the smith and wesson forum, and there are always a few I've never seen anything like before. They're tough!
