Jonnyc. That is alot of 7.62/7.63x25. Do you have any idea what all those loads are? Specially those colored ones?

416 Rigby does it for me.
10,75x73 aka rimless nitro express Jeffrey. Years apart I came across two different Ruger rifles chambered for this sexy cartridge and for some reason I did not buy either rifle. I knew they were rare when I seen them and now I'm kinda sorry I didn't buy at least one.

JonnyC, apparently you are "always looking for interesting Tokarev/Mauser cartridges" 
Don't suppose this Gunbroker auction of every 5.7x28 under the rainbow is you?
For the guy who wants every capability --in the same magazine
This is the GP11 7.5x55 Swiss round for those who were wondering:
Has to have one of the longest 30cal bullet ogives there is. Far and away the most accurate, highest quality military surplus there is. Would be among the most valuable today and widely used had the Swiss used Boxer primers instead of Berdan. For some dumb reason it was packaged in 10's, while all the Swiss guns that used it had magazines in multiples of 6
I also like the 50 Alaskan; it's basically a fatter 45-70, which has proportions more like a giant 357 than a 22LR

And yes, 7.62x25 is a beautiful round!

230 RN -- I'm not sure what a .60 Thumper is. There is a 50 caliber and a .455 Webley auto visible.

The bottom line: I have yet to see an ugly one.

I always thought the .17HMR was a pretty little thing....almost a 30-06 miniature.
Outta a handgun, you don't get much more impressive looking than the .460 or .500 mag.

Is that the Empire State Building?

Barnbwt, no that's not mine, but it is a neat collection of P90 rounds!
All those plastic colored 7.62x25s that I put in one pic came from a company that I think was called SFX. Gone now, but he got his start making safe, plastic, look-alike rounds for the movie industry. Later he got a bit whacky making fantasy stuff for collectors, and then returned to his day job.

Personally I've always been quite fond of the Danish military surplus .30'06
AMA sadly can't be reloaded easily as it has a bredan primer. Shiny brass annealed at the shoulder and silvery bullet. A rainbow of color.

Mach ~6? That's a hair less than our rail guns which disperse into plasma upon contact with a target and remove a large chunk of their rails the same way upon firing

Now that looks like a fun gun to shoot. I don't have one of those but I do have a .455 Webley Mark V Service revolver that I've been shooting a lot lately. If I had a Thumper I'd be shooting that to. Unfortunately, I don't even have a single round for it. Perhaps some day....

6mm SAW.
The ARMY should of "bit the bullet" and adopted it back in the 70's. Would of been the perfect time. Allot of the M16s and M60s in the inventory at that time were Vietnam veterans and had seen better days. Many needed replacement, or a major factory rebuild, anyway.
Plus, had the 6mm SAW moved beyond the prototype phase, it' would of naturally migrated to the civilian market. A brass 6mm SAW cartridge case would of been a wildcatter's dream.
Oh gosh there are several that I really like the look of. If I had to choose just one per category they'd be:
Rimfire: .22 WMR
Pistol: tie between .38 super and 9mm Largo (they look the same anyway)
Rifle: .30-40 Krag
Shotgun: 20 ga
Honerable mentions go to:
.280 Remington (.30-06 is too big, .270 too small LOL)
.25 ACP (I know it's tiny but I think it looks neat)
.30 M1 Carbine
.410 bore
Just about any rimmed revolver cartridge with lead flat point bullets
6.5 Grendel

22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer is unique.
22 Rem Jet is as well.
300 H&H (looks like a 22 hornet on steroids)
45-120
Wish I had time to put pics up of each
