Not often seen

[CINDERS]

A very short lived N.E round that was once considered by the Brits as a military round in .26, .33 and the lesser or rarer .40 BSA round.

I think they were in production for only a very short period 1921 - 1923 (AFAIK) with as far as munition production goes, this being a full packet of Kynoch .33 BSA with 10 rounds it was not a very ballistically efficient round.
This is probably a jewel of my collection of packeted ammo being so rare and in pristine condition, I do have a single in the N.E collection I'll find a pic of it and post but this is something not often seen at the time of purchase there were 2 packets offered up but I could only afford one at that juncture.
.33 is the middle one of the 5 N.E's not sure the paper patched maybe a 500/450. (Not the best pic but its all I could find)

Black 303/25 Super full packet got these a while ago I am pretty o-fare with the different types of Super packaging colours but will be honest I have not seen the just plain black/white as pictured perhaps some of the Aussie shooters here can shed light on whether they have seen this colour scheme in their travels.

.17/22.250 "Fred Flinstone" think this supposed wildcat is a bit of a figment as I can find no reference to it still something totally different.
303 Mk VII for scale.

[CINDERS]

Had a look into my N.E's pics and found a 577 BPE (Black Powder Express) 2 3/4" this one has an expander pin in the nose to aid expansion again not often seen round these parts.
303 round for scale (Reload)

[CINDERS]

From my metrics collection a 5.6 x 61Rmm Vom & Hoffe Super Express introduced in 1937 velocity is very close to the 220 Swift. 303 round for scale.

[CINDERS]

A little Sako 5.7mm x 43mm metric round not made anymore AFAIK think is similar to the .222.
303 round for scale.

[RCS]

Here are a few European cartridges that I have picked-up, would really be nice to have a rifle or two in one of these calibers

Left: RWS 8x72R, 8x65 RS Brenneke 9,3x72N 9,3x74R Norma 11,2x72 Schuler note rebated rim for Mauser action

[CINDERS]

Nice RCS.
I've got a Schuler think its either equal to the 404 Jefferies or the 505 Gibbs I'll have to see if I have a 404 I've got the Gibbs, I'll post up a Nimrod soon, but here is another metric a 7 x 61 Sharpe & Hart I always include a 303 round as usual for scale as most here know the size of the 3 oh.

[RCS]

From the 1890's into the 1900's, gunsmiths, barrel makers and target shooters and even small game hunters were working on the small bore cartridges

Left: 22 WCF center fire WRA Co, 25-20 UMC, 22-3000 G&H formed from 25-20 and smokeless,

25-21 Peters, 25-25 WRA Co and last is 28-30-120.


I understand that the 28-30-120 is becoming popular again because of the quality 7mm barrels that are available

[CINDERS]

Little bit bigger one here a 9.3mm x 53mm M + FA CO
