Case necks splitting

[HMFIC]

While we're on the subject of belted magnums... anyone want to try and identify these cartridges?

4th from the right is 300 H&H

The one in the middle looks like a Weatherby of some sort.

I bought a little propane torch and a cheap battery screwdriver today. I am going to try annealing tonight after work. I have some 223/556 and some 30-06 to practice on.

Did you all see the price on those automatic annealers, does any one have one of those?

1 8mm rem mag
2 458 express
3 300 win mag
4 375 H&H
5 7mm wby
6 300 H&H
7 300 wby
8 338 win mag
9 416 rem mag


How did I do?

Definitely correct.
That's probably the easiest case to identify with no other reference points.

Yup, Weatherbys have that distinctive shoulder.

Good luck on the annealing. I think if you follow the guide that Sol posted, you'll do allright. I wish I had one of those automatic ones... pretty cool but also pretty expensive.

VERY Close!

You got all of them correct with the exception of #1 and #2

Want to try those again?

 

[MoBoost]

1 378 wby
2 458 win mag (458 express is too tall)


Man, that's tricky. Is that your personal collection?

Getting closer. You have #2 now.

VERY close on #1, try again.

375 wby? 378 would have much bigger base.

So close. Think smaller. Same parent case family. Look at the length of the neck in proportion to the width. Too longish for as big of bullets as you've mentioned.

340 wby or I give up, should've looked close at second pic ... at least you could organize them by caliber or case length to make it not as much challenge ... ok, so it was a fun challenge.
