THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Instead of posting a picture(s) of my guns I thought I would post a picture of the cartridges they fire. Well, at least the rifles any way.



Who can guess them all?

Edit: Hint they are all in ascending order of caliber diameter. Accept for the first round.

Isn't "caliber diameter" a redundant statement?

I didn't that a few years ago, with about 2/3 the amount of rounds, and some joker got all of them by the first page.
