It is a wigwam for a gooses bridle :P
Ok smart assed comment aside my thought is either 7x57 or 8x57 mauser round
Nope :)
ok one more try then i give up
338-06
Nope, but now I have googled it im confused
300 or 303savage
Nope, im only going on what is stamped on the bottom, its an old factory round
It looks like it maybe has a military type crimp at the neck but has been loaded with a spire point projectile.
So might been made of a self loading rifle of some sort.
Hard to tell with out any measurements or seeing the head stamp
What is stamped on the bottom Moonhunt?
Cheers
Pete
W W Super......8mm Mauser
Cant keep playing this I think Hunter308 was correct with 8x 57??
Someone enlighten me... please
8mm mauser?
Why would this confuse you Moonhunt
If you can give us some dimensions we can tell for sure what it is
It is stamped 8mm Mauser, I would have thought 8x57 would have been stamped on it that is what confused me
Cant take a pic it wont focus on the base, you guys are too cleaver
MoonHunt
I believe 8mm Mauser is the usual head stamp.
I have a heaps here, none stamped 8x57 though.
Cheers
Pete
Thanks Pete, you can see my confusion, I have never seen a 7x57 or 8x57 before but see them mentioned a fair bit but never the 8mm
7.92×57mm Mauser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geeze your arse cracks tidy
8 mm comes in many cartridge lengths I think
And according to Jeff Thomas 25-06 is also known as 7mm08 :D:D:D

HINT....Your focus problems are because the camera is focusing on the background, not the cartridge base. You need to have both as close together as possible as in this example,Attachment 23175 which is pushed through and is flush with the cardboard background
Ha ha ha sorry!

I thought this was an easy one, its not a 7mm-08.
9.3x68
No
Not really up on this sort of thing but will say those very tapered case walls says it must be old,probably a military caliber of yesteryear or perhaps a dangerous game caliber of yesteryear.
256 rigby or 318?

7x57?
375 H&H?
Looks BIG :thumbsup:
None of the above but close. The inventer was killed when a lion took exception to being shot by one.Way ahead of its time but let down by the projectiles of the day.
To Mr Moonhunt I dont care what is stamped on your bullet nore do I care about the size or calibre... I do care about sticking Mr piggy with a hard sharp piece of steel approximately 200mm long. :)
6.5 x 54 mannlicher?
How about a 35 Whelen?
or maybe a 276 Enfield?
Introduced 1906 146 gr @ 3100 fps. I would like the M1910 sporter in this caliber.
