    I said a bit earlier after I.D'ing RCS Schuler round in a post he had that I would snap a few of mine I have used a 303 round for scale so you get an idea. (All sizes in mm)
    Hopefully in their order if not sorry I tried........
    1. 505 Gibbs & Schuler
    2. 11.2 x 62 R
    3. 7 x 61 Sharpe & Harte
    4. 9.3 x 53 M + FA CO
    5. 7mm Kynoch
    6. 7 x 57 RWS
    7. 10.75 x 68 RWS
    8. 5.6 Vom Hoff BB Case
    9. 5.7 x 42 SAKO
    10. 8mm MS Kynoch
    11. 8mm Kynoch
    12. 9.5 MS Kynoch
    13. 9 x 57 DWM 491A


    14 ~ 15. 577 x 2 3/4" BPE Kynoch thought I would include this one as you do not often see the Black Powders this one has an expander pin in the projectile to aid expansion see top pic.

    I added a old pic of my Nitro Express rounds will take some snaps of a few of them plus a few more metrics I have stuff hoarded and really have to get it out to remember what I actually have as books are my main passion this is a sideline but a rather expensive one the 600NE cost me $90/AU 6 years ago I also have a 700 Nitro case & 1000gn projectile will dig that out one day.
    I also have a one of a kind "Professional Hunter" cartridge designed by Graham Williams a N.T buffalo hunter tour operator it had to go through ballistics with the police so they could categorize it. Cheers
