I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

amazing how in the 70's, D was probably the post popular cartridge in Australia. Now, 40 years on, we can't recognize it. How times have changed.

We have A B C and D correct.
A . The mighty 6.5 x 68 Schuler or RWS. 1290 got that one.
B. 375 H&H. Westy got that.
C. 45/70. Westy got that one as well.
D. The good old 222. 1290 got that one, with a lot of hints I might add.
E. ? the rimmed case at the bottom is not a 7mm Waters. I did give the hint "Think me in 1892" It just has you a bit stumped because it's rimmed for use in break action single shot rifles. Not in it's original military form.
