[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 656818, member: 8767"] wiley coyote is good. As to looking up the effects ? I know enough not to want to know, and hope no one ever needs to know. My " phone a friend's " response - .50 BMG 20 mm .577/450 M H and .50 BMG Cut off 50 BMG by appearance .577/450 MH I would agree with that but did not recognise the 'cut off' .50 BMG case, as for the .577/450 they originally were made with a thin brass foil and soon after with a brass case. I'm a bit dim lately. 😕 Looks like some one has a minor case collection. .50 BMG used in a military machine gun or aircraft WW2 ? .50 Cut off - trench art? and even possibly as a brass case for a 12gauge shotgun, yes they do fit, it is cut the correct length. --- .50 BMG have been test fired from shotguns - surprising results. .577/450 - Boar War era firearms, Snider Rifles, SA Police were issued with them in 1867 from memory, a very modern firearm in those days. --- Kato found a projectile from one of these in her Grandparents back yard - they were a smooth bore rifle and later improvements changed to a rifle --- bored firearm.
