Cartridge Comparison Image edit

Can someone replace the image with one still including the odd, outdated, and wildcat, niche cartridges shown with one including modern current cartridges people would be familiar with. Examples for use might be one or more of the following 30-30,30-06 .308/7.62x51mm,.223/5.56x45,7.65R. Worst case a simple picture with handguns would help but would be disproportional to the sizing for referencing. Even the .50 cal would have been more help, despite dwarfing the appearance. The common size and related cartridges are good but the image leaves out a helpful scaling and referencing common to the masses cartridge. The only one that might be common is 30/40 by Krag but it made me think of the German Sturmgewehr 44, not the USA's Krag–Jørgensen firearm. All the others 30/40 Krag are unknown to the masses except the " Gatling gun, and few would know what it was chambered for. IE: Winchester High-Wall , Remington-Lee bolt-action, Remington Rolling Block, Winchester Model 1895, Ruger No. 1, Ruger No. 3, Thompson-Center Encore are examples non gun people will not know and even a decent percentage of gun owners and users won't recognize due to the age. If they are in current use it would be limited to reenactments, collectors and cowboy shooters. Even the odder but specialized hunting cartridges will be lost on the majority of people who mainly use their firearms for self defense , target shooting and even competition. ...That leaves out a sadder issue that if 2 pac, Snoop dog, DR Dre Eazy E & others didn't rap about them a generation may have no clue any such options exist. :( 2602:306:CE27:DC90:8970:26D6:D9FD:4E8A (talk) 23:10, 30 August 2017 (UTC)Reply


==template== Addition suggestion, is for the template to not just include the creation/designed date but when it served to date. With a additional notes/dates for when the consumer surplus usage date came to close. Adding to that, when (if) it is available as specialty round aka antique gun and cartridge as define in the say the USA or even UK. Or is available by collectors or specialty ammunition reloaders only.


Military history edit

I removed the military history tag as I believe this is strictly a big-game cartridge. Arthurrh (talk) 19:55, 8 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Should the insignificant 9mm Jonson be listed here? Among the small set of similarly sized rifle cartridges there are many more significant ones that are not listed. The other two that are listed arguably do belong here. Seems like an attempt at free publicity for a product with a cult appreciation at best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.238.48.147 (talk) 16:32, 11 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
