Can you Guess these Rounds?

A bit of fun. The larger rounds from my inert collection - mostly (but not all) big game rounds.

To start you off for reference the far left is a .500 S&W load from Winchester - the only handgun (revolver round). The far right is an older hunting rifle round and not a cannon shell!!!! Although it is bigger than most 20mm cannon shells!!!

No takers??? :wink:

OK - how about guessing the round on the far right?

Guess

Looks like a 4 bore to me, but I am not a commercial/sporting man.

Spot on Tony. A 4 bore round made for the gun of an Indian Prince by H&H marked REWA. Makes my shoulder ache thinking of firing the gun!!!

Not too bad weasel!!!

You got the 700 Nitro and the 458 (not a Lott - a winmag).

The far left is a 500 Winchester (revolver).

There are 3 other Nitro Expresses left. U guessed one - but in the wrong slot!!!

Two of them are from very early British military rifles - black powder.

One is a 'buffalo' round U got the caliber but not the case size & wrong slot!!!

The far right is a two bore (guessed by Tony) - to its left is a 475 calibre but not a Nitro.
