Some of the big "Nitro expresses" would be my guess. ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

There appears to a 450 & 470 nitro express, Something I am not sure of, a 505 Gibbs, then the 500 and 577 either the older black powder loads or the Nitros loaded down. My shoulder hurts just looking at them. ------------- Have a Nice Day If already having a nice day please disregard |
