Game: Guess that cartridge

Where’s your go? You may not like it but it is your turn…

Here you go.

Snag_16deeb6

7.62 X 25mm ?

Mmmm nooo. Little bigger.

9 x 39

Ding ding ding we have a winner.

My first thought was x39 whisper.

Here’s one I shot today about 10 seconds after learning of it’s existence:

Another pic, the 3 on the left:

.357 sig?

…or 25NAA?

Warm, got the right idea…

Right idea again but larger

Edit:
Hint - it’s an old wildcat cartridge that became popular in Australia in the 90s due to certain new laws restricting certain calibres.
It has 3 names that I can find, one of which is apparently named after the PM in power at the time.

Never heard of a Keating or Howard

is it 32 cal?

Neither had I. Bloke who handloaded them was a wealth of information.

or maybe 40 Super

@MangoBombs I am going with 40 Super, introduction to the market lines up :slight_smile:

Bottle necked pistol cartridges are my fetish :slight_smile:

Getting much closer re: the case

No

400 cor-bon looks like a necked down 45acp

It certainly is a .45ACP case necked down.
