Thread: Unusual old ammo

I was going through some old estate ammo today and found these, quite interesting.

There must be some really weird ammo floating around from days gone by.....

kynoch 7mm


7mm Kynoch Next to a blank 308


6.5 Jap


6.5 jap next to blank 308


45 AC




8x57 JS


Hard case looking things, anyone else found/seen any old ammo about the place ?

I found an old .270 case the other day. They have been obsolete for years.

I've got some Kynoch 7x57 ammo too, the big old 173gr round nose, came with BSA Hunter I bought years ago and kept it out of interest. Also got given a jar full of different ammo too, in it was 7x61 Sharpe & Hart, 32 auto, 30 carbine and some old Norma 222

Lots of old crap laying around these are 2 old 30-06 one another Kynoch and the other an Imperial the other I think is an 8x57J though not too sure the head stamp is a bit odd 7.9 OR 8MM


The Imperial has a very early plastic tip and the Kynoch a metal tip the other odd ball Kynoch a really long bullet similar to early 6.5x55 ammo

Got a box full of old and unusual calibers will post some pics shortly and you can guess what they are.

The 6.5 Jap Norma Re would date from the late 60s early 70s maybe a tad later.

Ok take your best shot

Starting from left to right.

Hint: the centre one is the Undisputed Mighty King of Calibers 308 Winchester



Have fun guessing
