Default A little fun name the Cartridge.

Was cleaning up my gun room and thought this would be fun let’s see if anyone can guess them all.

The one you are guessing is a Weatherby is not - the shoulder isn't right. WBY have steep shoulders and I do not believe anything is the same height as a 300 WBY or the 300 RUM

Maybe a 300 PRC (no belt) and 300 Win Mag (belt) and they are similar in size maybe?

The Weatherby has radiused shoulders, as to the 300RUM , the 7mmstwand the 8mmremmag have the same length case, as do the various wildcats based on the 8mmremmag case.

Default Yippee!

I’ll go out to the gun room in the AM and work up a line up from some of the chamberings I load for. Too late to do it today, past my bedtime.

Good thread, OP!

Really close! 2 wrong and they're maybe a little unfair...... I don't personally know anyone else who has a rifle chambered in them. I'm sure there's lots on the forum though.
