.308 Win recoil vs .300 Wby Mag recoil

[scythefwd]

Mav - that .308 very old? Most of the .308 I have has a much more defined shoulder on it. That one is visually hard to distinguish (besides size) from the double radii shoulder on the wby.

I imagine it is, but not certain of age. I believe it is the corrosion making it appear less sharp than it really is, and it definitely doesn't have a double radii like a Wby. cartridge. It is part of my "cartridge collection"...some are very old (such as cordite cartridges). FWIW the head stamp says: LC 75.

Well, keep the brass... Lake City is good stuff

What.. no .30-30???? Or is that one next to the .308?

Lemme guess
.50 BMG - .45-70 -??? - .300 wby mag - .30-06 - .44 Mag???? - .308 - .30-30 - 7.62x39 - .270??? -lost for a bit -- .22lr - 17 HMR
10 GA, 12GA 3.5 in Mag- 12 GA 2 3/4", 20 GA??

How bad did I botch that one

Pretty bad...but don't feel bad, there are a few odd ones thrown in for interest. The cartridges are as follows (from left to right, top to bottom):

.50BMG, .458WM, .375H&H, .300Wby, .30-06, .45-70Govt ... .308Win. (Actually 7.62x51 tracer) ... .30-30, 7.62x39mm, .223Rem, .30M1 Carbine, .25-20, 5.7x28mm, .22LR, .17HM2 (Mach II) ... 8Ga Slug, 10Ga 3.5in. Magnum Shotshell, 12Ga. Brenneke Slug, and 16Ga. Shotshell

Easy right?

Well, got most of the diameters of the projectiles pretty close Never seen a .40-70 in person, so that was just a guess The ones I said I knew though I knew

You didn't do too bad, and I didn't expect anyone to get the .25-20 or the 8Ga. (the only give-away is the thick rim), and the 10Ga. does look a whole lot like the 12Ga.
