Smallest & Largest


TNID

Recommended Posts

I just ran across this old comparison pic I took and wondered what everyone else might have.

 

Here are a .375 Remington Ultra Magnum, .223 Remington, and .22LR.

 

What are the smallest and largest cartridges you shoot?  Pics are encouraged.   :popcorn:

i will skip pics as we all know what they look like.

 

My smallest to largest is .22 short and 30-06 Springfield.    The .22 shorties are only used sparingly in my Bearcat and the eldest grandsons Cub Mini Youth which he has outgrown.  I don't have many.  Dunno why I care to not shoot them at this point.

I range from .22 lr to 30 caliber in different flavors of centerfire cartridges with arguably the 30-06 being the most powerful,  My largest would have to be the 12 gauge; unless you were only speaking of brass cased cartridges.

the smallest is 22, and I often shoot shorts these days in my revolvers as they are on the shelf at times when LR is not.

 

The largest I have in diameter is a 50-something caliber muzzle loader.  I don't shoot it.

The largest cartridge I have is a 45-70.  I don't shoot that either. 

The largest I actually shoot is probably my 7.65 mauser, or a 308, they are extremely close in most dimensions.

Are you sure that's not a trash can next to the .17 HMR?

 

 

It's a trash can that smells like cordite.  :)

 

 

And technically it's neither mine, nor have I shot it.  I just thought its a funny picture.  A coworker brought it back with him from England (he's from there).  He got it from a relation that did shoot it.  It actually flew back in his luggage and it distinctly smells like cordite.

.22lr to .308

I'm not counting my semi-automatic .50 black powder. Somethings wrong with it, I can never get the 2nd round to chamber :rofl:

Getting slow in our old age, I can get the 2nd round in after a few mins.

Isn't it a 155 mm howitzer? Doesn't count anyway since the projectile is missing :)
.17hmr to 300 win mag here.


The newer version is the 155mm, but it's a separate projectile and powder bag. I think the 105 is one of the largest standard brass cased rifle cartridges.


Do you deer hunt with the 105 or is it a Safe Queen????.........just curious........................... :shrug: :shrug:


Nah, I just target practice with it since .22 is so hard to find...
