Who will be the first to correctly identify this lineup of rifle calibers? Of note is where the “high-powered” AR-15 “assault rifle” round finds itself in this showing of usual and not-so-usual suspects. …This went up yesterday on some of TTAG’s social media, so no cheating…
.357
.223/5.56
.300 blk
7.62×39
.308 win
…tapered body and rimmed 30-30?
7.62x54r
300 win
338 lapua
50bmg
I tried. I’m only a young buck so cut me some slack.
I think the first one is 22mag, since it looks roughly the same diameter as the 5.56.
Ah yes, and what I called 30-30 is longer than what I called 308. Huh. Fun quiz none-the-less
I’m thinking that’s a .303 british. .30-30 and .308 both have same length cases, 51mm.
Looks like a .303 British to me. The length and taper are about right…
Glad to see people still guessing, but I feel like the correct list should probably be higher up in the comments here. So…. here it is, first ID’d correctly by Will in Oregon:
Official list:
.22 WMR
.223 Remington
.300 AAC Blackout
7.62×39 (too bad I didn’t have a brass case one)
.308 Winchester
.303 British
7.62x54R
.338 Lapua Magnum
.375 Cheytac
.50 BMG
Maybe .22 hornet?
.300 winmag is a belted cartridge. The one above isn’t belted.
The first one is a rimmed cartridge – probably a 22WMR.
That “tapered 30-30 is a .303 Enfield next is a 7.62X39R
It’s .303 British, and to its right is 7.62x54R
357 mag, 5.56mm, 300 AAC, 7.62×39, 308 win, 30-40 krag, 7.62×54, 338 lapua, 375 cheytac, 50 bmg
30-40, that makes more sense.
It’s a 303 British, 30-40 krag has a much long case neck
22 mag., 223/556, 300 blk, 7.62×39, 308, 303 british, 7.62x54r, 30.06, 338 lapua, 50 cal
I am with you except for the last 3. I think these are .338 lapua, either a .375 or .408 cheytach and then .50 BMG
Those last 3 are bigger rounds than I want to shoot at this stage of my life. And way more expensive than I want to pay for.
.22 WMR, .223/5.56, .300AAC/.300 whisper, 7.62×39, .308/7.62×51, .303?,
7.62x54R, .338 lapua, .408 cheytac, .50bmg
My independent research leads me to believe Tom’s list, above, should be correct.
Good job, shooter!
aaaand, maybe not.
Several folks below think #9 is a .375 CheyTac, and after a close look at the photo, I think they may be right.
I forgot about the .375 Cheytac. You may be right there.
.22mag, .556, .300BO, 7.62×39, .308, .303, 7.62×54, something, something, and something with a 700gr A max bullet.
All preferred pistol cartridges for use by Ahnuld in his movies.
Watched Commando the other day, caught something I never noticed before…Ahnold closes his eyes every time he squeezes off a round.
Well yeah. It would be unfair to the bad guys if he used the sights while he was fighting. He’s gonna kill eleventy billion in every encounter even with his eyes closed.
.22, .223, .30, .30, .30, .30, .30, .30, .338, .50.
all you asked for was caliber right.
Good one.
Ha! Very Good!
Good indeed, but still wrong! 😉
You just won the internet for today.
Yup you win today. Even if they are not all correct you still win.
22 Mag
223
300 BLK
7.62×39
308 Win
30-06
300 Norma
338 Lapua
408 Chey-Tac
50 BMG
.30-06 is rimless like the .308, not rimmed like the #6 round in the photo.
I think that one is a .30-30, but then the next three are mysteries to me until I get to the .50 BMG.
1: .22mag
2: 5.56×45/.223
3: .300 Blackout
4: 7.62×39
5: .308
6: .30-30
7: 7.62x54R
8: ?
9: ?
10: .50BMG
I’m just leaving a comment so i can see the results. Most of you guys are doing a lot better than I would have.
.22 Mag, 5.56 NATO, 300 Blackout, 7.62×39, .308 Win, 303 brit, 7.62.54R,
.338 Lupua, 416 and 50BMG?
.416 case is belted and has a tiny shoulder.
#9 in the photo has no belt and a conventional shoulder.
Haven’t shot most of these, but off of the top of my head sans-google:
.22 Mag
.223
.300BLK
7.62×39
.308win
.30-06
7.62x54R
300 win mag
.338 Lapua
.50BMG
22 mag
This may be a trick question and could be 6X45 not 223? (formal guess 6X45)
.300 blk
7.62×39
.308 win
303 brit
7.62x54r
338 lapua
.375 CT
50bmg
Should have also put a .30-06 so that lesser knowledged liberal media folks could associate a WW2 US Army cartridge with the present ones.
.22 WMR, .223 Remington / 5.56x45mm, .300 Whisper / .300 Blackout, 7.62x39mm, .308 Winchester / 7.62x51mm, .30-40 Krag, 7.62x54mmR, .30-06, .338 Lapua Magnum, .50 BMG?
.22 mag, .223/5.55, .300 blk, 7.62×39, .308, .303, 7.62×54, .338 lapua, .375 cheytac, .50 bmg
If you got #9 right, then I think you got them all.
Except for the type on #2 (WTH is a 5.55mm?).
But I think the .223 prefix saves you, there.
I agree as well. Some quick Google Fu makes me feel a bit better about it too.
yeah I derped up on the 5.55mm thing… I actually owned at least one firearm in the first 6 calibers, you know, before the boating accident
If #9 is the .375 CheyTac (vs. the .408), then I think you got them all.
I’ll ignore the 5.55 typo (the .223 prefix saves you, IMO).
Bingo!
Elliott was super close, and Andrew Lias psyched himself out on the .223 and could have had it otherwise haha. These are just rounds that were in my basement so nothing too terribly weird.
Official list:
.22 WMR
.223 Remington
.300 AAC Blackout
7.62×39 (too bad I didn’t have a brass case one)
.308 Winchester
.303 British
7.62x54R
.338 Lapua Magnum
.375 Cheytac
.50 BMG
The .375 is too obscure for me (I guessed .408).
Great challenge!
Super hard to tell from a photo, for sure. This week I’ll put together a pistol caliber one 😉
Had to research it myself, never heard of it. What a crazy caliber.
hey Jeremy, I have some stuff here I could throw together for another one of these. Probably a very ecclectic mix of misc laying around both pistol and rifle. Probably nothing as cool as that but some dead calibers too.
And I would have had it too if it weren’t for you meddling 5.56!
.22 WMR, .223 Remington / 5.56x45mm, .300 Whisper / .300 Blackout, 7.62x39mm, .308 Winchester / 7.62x51mm, .30-40 Krag, 7.62x54mmR, .30-06, .338 Lapua Magnum, .50 BMG?
#6 is definitely 303. Note the rim on bottom
To answer the question . NO I can’t .
All I got was 223/556. Gee I thought that was the most powerful,soul-killing vaporizing boo-lit out there! Looks kinda’ puny don’t it? lol
No but I’ll take a shot at it:
.22 WMR
.223/5.56
.300 Blackout
7.62×39
.308/7.62×51
???
???
???
.338 Lapua
.50 BMG
The .375 and .22 mag threw me off. At first glance I assumed it was a semi jacketed .357 but after reading the comments it became obvious it was .22 mag. I had no clue about the .375.
The last one could be .510 DTC
I was thinking .327 federal for the first one if not, .22 wmr
.223/5.56
.300 blk
7.62x39mm
.308 or maybe .300 savage?

Oh the list is up, heh. Wow I was WAY off. This makes me want a .50 bmg even more. That thang is graTOOitously huge.
Me likey.
I’ll give it a try:
.22 WMR / .22 Mag
.223 Remington / 5.56x45mm,
.300 Whisper / .300 Blackout,
7.62x39mm,

Well, according to that one pussy reporter, as well as anti gun folk, they are (from right to left) .scary, .mean, .deadly, .violent, .evil, .horr-ible NOOOO, and .crying and pissing in their pampers.
