A few months back I seen a post with a pic in it that represented the different shapes and sizes of some WWll heavy ammo. They were of osti and whirble rounds with a few others thrown in. I've searched over and over looking for that thread but just can not find it using different search terms that I remember. The pic might have been of models or the real thing and were in someones living room. It was about 3 months ago if not a little more.

I was able to find this one but not the thread I was looking for. Anyone remeber the thread?

The shell said something I couldn't read on it. It said something like "22-45" or something like that.

It was bigger than a .22 definately. It was just a wierd size like "22-45" or "25-40" really really akward.  :noid
