    And yet another cartridge quiz

    Can anyone identify the cartridges in the photo and name the make and model(s) of the rifle they and the clip were used in?

    That long 30-30 type neck caught my eye and yet the bullet diameter appears larger like a 32 caliber. Being rimless and with stripper clip I believe
    your cartridge is the 32 Remington used in the Remington Model 30 bolt action ?

    .35 Remington, used in the Remington Model 8 & 81 semi-auto rifles, the FN semi-auto rifle, and other models?

    The neck is way too long to be a 35 Remington

    Correct on the rifles. There may be others but these were the two I had in mind.
    RCS, it's not a .32, but you're awfully close.

    Remington model 8 and 81 came in among others, 30 cal. This is the FMJ for that and that's the 5 rd charger clip for the built in charger guide...?

    Jim nailed it. They're .30 Remington and the clip was used with the Models 8 & 81, possibly others.
    Also the .30 Remington was the parent case for the 10mm Auto and 6,8x43 SPC cartridges.

    more cartridges - quiz

    Attachment 64555

    This might be a difficult quiz as these two cartridges are both US wildcats. They were both used in the same weapon - as converted to use them and used the same magazine
