Need help identifying these cartridges

[barnesuser28]

I posted this on another forum, and we came up with,
1. 221 Fireball
2. 6mm BR
3. 6.5x50 Arisaka
4. 300 H&H Magnum
5. 30-378 Weatherby Magnum
6. 9.3x74R
7. 450 Dakota
8. 505 Gibbs

I feel extremely sure of all of them except #2, and since the 6mm BR is extrenely popular around here i would like to know if you think #2 is correct. If you have any thoughts on any of the other ones then let me hear it!

Thank You

#2 could be a 25 WSSM. The neck looks bigger than 6mm to me.

Nomad47,
I think a 25 wssm is probably right.

fredhorace77,
i posted this pic on LRH and they came up with all of them except for the 300 H&H, i knew that one already. Some research and it is possible, i just couldnt find much that would be comparble to #2

Don't mind Fred - he must be REALLY old.

id believe it, do you think #2 could be a brx? The head to shoulder seems too short for it to be a wssm.

it is a contest (put on by a major bullet manufacturer)to see who can figure out what all the cartridges are first, guessing starts on monday, i dont have the cases in my possesion.

that would have been real helpful to know in the beginning...would have at least kept my blood pressure at bay...

Sorry about that.

does case #2 look like it could be a 6mm brx?

the neck looks to long. I'd say no

 

[barnesuser28]

Thats what i think but there is a guy on LRH that is willing to bet his house its a brx.... any thoughts on a cartridge it could be?

Fred, If you would open your mind before your mouth your blood pressure wouldnt get so out of wack, just sayin

No. 2 can't be from the WSM family, the base is too small. Compared to no. 3, if it is a 6.5 Arisaka with a base diam. of .455'', then no. 2 looks like a BR family member with a base dia. of .473''.
Unfortunately, since I reached 95 years old, my eyes can only measure dimensions from pictures to the nearest .001''.

At least the kid was honest enough to include his age in his profile. Most of the "men" on this forum are not.
