Cartridges

[enfield303t]

Here are some of my cartridges I collected years ago. Have more so will take pictures of them someday including boxes and post. Sorry about the size of the pictures, I have enough problems trying to get pictures on here. My son thinks it is a real PITA to do anything on my computer as to him it is a anchor. Next time will try to post smaller images.

Nice bunch of cartridges!
Can you post a pic of the "Rare Chinese Headstamp" on the 7mm Mauser?

Took a picture but have doubts it will be good enough to put on here as the camera doesn't have a macro lens.

Some pictures of boxes and the Chinese Headstamp 7mm for jonnyc.

Again the pictures are large and sorry about that. Thought they had been reduced but fail on my part. I do notice our cat Glock is in the upper corner of the last picture, he is the ultimate cat when it comes to curosity. He was rescued by the SPCA when very young and was scared beyond belief. We have had him for two years and he is turning into the most wonderful loyal friend, guess he knows just how safe he is in our house and believe me it has taken countless hours of understanding to get him where he is now.

Enfield, if you measure that "Chinese 7mm", I think you will find that it is a .30-06. It is from a WWII Western Ctg. Co. contract for China.

Well I will have to do that, I have not added to the collection (olther than a very few) since 1974 and the collector I got it from said it was 7mm and never questioned it. Apologize if I am wrong. When I was a fairly serious collector metrics were not that common and to be honest not very desireable. I am surprised no one commented on the 7.62X53 thinking it was actually a "54". That one is a Lapua which it should be as the Sweede's IIRC were the only one's to use it. Virtually identical to a "54".

I do have some pretty interesting singles that I put in individual frames, will try to find them and post. IF I ever find my Winchester salesmans sample case I think you would enjoy seeing it.

To me one of the most interesting is the Nickle plated 50-70 primed empty that was produced in 1919 for J Vanasse. He had 100 made for a military reunion. I have never seen another one but bet a few are still out there.
