I probably should have devised something more complex but this was the only picture I had handy. The test is as follows: Identify the caliber/gauge of each item of ammunition pictured. I will post the key with a poll later and ask each contestant to vote to indicate their success rate. Sorry, I have no prizes to offer but I will permit anyone who can name them all to buy me a membership  Enjoy!  bonus points if you can identify the model number of the speakers pictured

9mm Luger (with Hornady XTP JHP?) 45 ACP 223 Remington 308 Winchester 303 British (It has a rim, so it can’t be the regular 8x57 Mauser. It could be one of the rare Rimmed Mausers cartridges: 8x57mm Rimmed 360 or 8x57mm Rimmed J Mauser) 270 Winchester (Neck seems just a tad small for 30-06) 12 Gauge (2-3/4”) 50 BMG |
