Left one looks like a .224 Sako round
Thanks Tom, glad you were able to fix the photo post, Cinders, the first cartridge on the left was designed for use in Australia, note the rim for a certain action
Robert
HMMM not a .22 Wasp is it, there are another 5 it could possibly be based on the Wildcatted 22/303 configuration
222 rimmed for a martini cadet?
Henry got it, the 222 rimmed for the small action Martini Cadet, difficult cartridge to locate in the USA.
Second cartridge is very uncommon and few would know about it. It is the German 5,6x61mm Vom Hofe, designed in 1937 and still used in custom rifles
third cartridge is the 244 H&H used for hunting in Scotland, developed after WW2
last is the German 5,6x57mm RWS which is just the 7,92 necked down to 5,6mm also made in a rimmed cartridge too
