They are chambered in 7.5x55 swiss. It is pretty similar to .308 energy wise.

You define the word "classic" Tom. Always a pleasure to look at your pictures.
As of the "Founding Fathers" of this thread, I have to say its a pleasure to see it still going with ever new presentations of firearms.
Some beautiful pictures. Really nice presentations.

Was just thinking similar Jim. Thanks for the post Goetstalen. Way to keep it alive!
Np Hicks! Got a new phone and was trying out the camera. So far Iike it! The smallest and the largest.
Just got some new ammo for the .380! This stuff kicks it up a notch lol!
Haven't had a chance to try them out yet but for self defense distance it should be pretty good. There are some pretty good YouTube ballistic tests with them. Those are the extreme penetrators they also make extreme defenders. The flutes are bigger on the defenders. They penetrate like ball ammo but make a nice wound channel like a hollow point. Expensive little bastards at 28.99 for 20 rounds.
Not a gun but pretty cool! Neighbor asks me if I want some shotgun shells and I say yeah I'll take them. He hands me three boxes of these. Old paper hulls that are in great condition. Maybe from the 60's At $2.19 a box?
Nice, I’ve got a couple boxes of paper hulled .410 shells as well as some 16ga.
Cool neighbor right there

My grandfather had a double barrel 12 (hammers and Damascus barrels) along with three boxes of 00 buckshot. Shotgun shells were brass case the entire length with paper at the very top with 00 printed on it. He said that being I was the only one in the family that hunted, I could have it when he passed. He passed in 1994 and a couple weeks after the funeral, I asked my grandmother about it and she said yes, she remembers him saying I could have it and told me to go to the basement closet and get it. She told me I could have every gun that was in there too. Well, my cousins had ransacked the place while my grandmother was at the funeral. They took everything...even the flag that I gave my grandfather from when I was stationed at Ft. Myer Virginia (Arlington National Cemetery). I would’ve never hunted with that gun because of its age, but I would’ve loved to have it hanging in the living room with those old shells on a shelf.
That down right sucks that they grabbed everything.... I have a couple of my grandfathers guns and the family knows they don’t leave the family..... I haunt the mofo that breaks that vow....
That's funny. I was just recently thinking about all the unused boxes of shells Dad gave me from back in the day & then some. They certainly had pretty boxes !
