Guess The Handgun Cartridge

[GearheadExplorer85]

Hello everyone:

I just wrapped up a game of Guess The Rifle Caliber in the Rifle Country forum. Now I have decided to turn my attention to handgun calibers. Firearms are one of my passions and I've always been intrigued by all the oddball chamberings out there. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to handload my own cartridges right now. But a reloading bench is definitely in my future. In the meantime, I decided that building a cartridge collection is the next best thing. Below is a picture of several handgun cartridges that I have accumulated. Let's see if you can correctly guess what they all are.

Rules:
- Post your answers in numerical order from 1 to 24 as listed in the picture
- You have to post the entire cartridge name...caliber alone isn't enough
- You automatically win if you guess all the cartridges correctly. If no one gets 100%, the person with the highest number of correct answers wins. If there is a tie...well we can figure out a way to break it lol
- Game will last until Tuesday 29 Aug 2023 @ 12:00am PST

Good luck!

The ? Rimless .38 is .38 Super Auto.

Here are what I shoot and reload for, except for the first two and last two. And, no, I don't shoot the one on the far right, either.

Hey everyone:

My apologies for being a little late following up on this one, but here it goes. @Riomouse911 came pretty close. You got most of the cartridges right, but they were in the wrong spots. So, starting from the left:

2) .30 Mauser --> Wrong - 7.62 x 25 Tokarev
3) .38 S&W --> Wrong - 32 ACP
4) .380 --> Wrong - 9mm Luger
5) .357 sig --> Correct
6) 9mm Luger --> Wrong - 38 Super
7) .38 Short Colt --> Wrong - 38 Special
8) ? Rimless .38 --> Wrong - 9mm Winchester Magnum (this one was a weird find)
9) .38 Spl --> Wrong - 357 Magnum
10) .357 Mag --> Wrong - 357 Maximum
11) .40 S&W --> Correct
12) 10mm auto --> Correct
13) .41 Mag --> Correct
14) .44 Russian --> Correct
15) .44 Spl --> Correct
16) .44 Mag --> Correct
17) .45 GAP --> Correct
18) .45 ACP --> Correct
19) .45 Schofield --> Wrong - 45 Colt
20) .45 Colt --> Wrong - 454 Casull
21) .454 Casull --> Wrong - 460 S&W
22) .480 Ruger --> Wrong - 475 Linebaugh

The one that looked like a rimless 38 was actually 9mm Winchester Magnum. 38 Super is the left-most nickel case.

Good to know, thanks.

That photo angle makes it tougher to judge. Thanks for the challenge, looks like I need a bit more practice!

Stay safe.

Mine was too easy. The one you said was 6mm BR is close, it is a 6.5 Grendel. "Some giant cannon case" is
one of these, minus the 4,560 grain Depleted Uranium projectile:

PGU-14/B API Armor Piercing Incendiary [DU] 30mm Ammunition

I was tossing up between those two, I guessed wrong!

Stay safe.

When I saw the "anium" part engraved on the shell, that sparked my curiosity. That's a pretty cool conversation piece
